When you burn a log in your fireplace you are converting c<span>ellulose into carbon dioxide and water.
</span>
Wood is made from cellulose. When wood burns, cellulose reacts with oxygen from the air and it forms carbon dioxide and water vapor. 

The reaction of the combustion of glucose is as follows:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ = 6 CO₂ + 6H₂O
When wood burns, we notice that it slowly disappears because it passes into the mentioned gases. The ash that is created is part of the wood that did not burn.

Calcium hydride (cah2) reacts with water to form hydrogen gas: cah2(s) + 2h2o(l) → ca(oh)2(aq) + 2h2(g) how many grams of cah2 a

Using the ideal gas law equation, we can find the number of H₂ moles produced.
PV = nRT
Where P - pressure - 0.811 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 82 175 Pa
V - volume - 58.0 x 10⁻³ m³
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 32 °C + 273 = 305 K
substituting these values in the equation,
82 175 Pa x 58.0 x 10⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 305 K
n = 1.88 mol 

The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;
CaH₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) --> Ca(OH)₂(aq) + 2H₂(g)
stoichiometry of CaH₂ to H₂ is 1:2
When 1.88 mol of H₂ is formed , number of CaH₂ moles reacted = 1.88/2 mol
therefore number of CaH₂ moles reacted = 0.94 mol
Mass of CaH₂ reacted - 0.94 mol x 42 g/mol  = 39.48 g of CaH₂ are needed

This exercise uses the radioactive decay model.
Anna11 [10]
For radioactive decay, we can relate current amount, initial amount, decay constant and time using:
N = No x exp(-λt)

Half-life = ln(2)/λ
λ = ln(2) / 5730
N/No = 80% = 0.8
0.8 = exp( -ln(2)/5730 x t)
t = 1844 years
