A lake has been infected by some type of new algae that is unknown. Every single day the amount of surface area that the algae takes up doubles. Day 1 has a certain amount, day 2 it is 2x that amount. It takes 87 days for the entire lake to be overrun by this new algae. How many days does it take to cover half of the lake? Show your work and explain your thinking. In science we need to be able to justify our answers. hint: It is not the "obvious" answer.

Answer asap need it by wednesday morning carry out the following calculations on ph and ka of from data. i. calculate the ph of 0.02m hcl ii. calculate the ph of 0.036m naoh iii. calculate the ph of 0.36m ca(oh)2 iv. calculate the ph of 0.16m ch3cooh which has ka = 1.74 x 10-5 mol dm-3 v. calculate ka for weak acid ha which has a ph of 3.65 at 0.30m concentration vi. calculate the ka of a solution made by mixing 15.0 cm3 0.2m ha and 60.0 cm3 0.31m a-. [ph= 3.80] vii. calculate the ph of a solution made by mixing 15.0 cm3 0.1m naoh and 35.0 cm3 0.2m hcooh. [ka = 1.82 x 10-4 m]
