Answer:

<u>2 years</u> to decay to a mass of 50g.

Explanation:

given:

100g of substance with a half life of 2 years

to a mass of 50g

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

                          ln 2             0.693

Half life T1/2 = ----------  =  -----------

                              λ                  λ

where  λ = rate constant

The initial amount of 100 grams is decaying to a mass of 50 grams is half of its initial value.

Therefore, it will take 2 years for the decay.

C5H12, pentane, is a liquid at room temperature.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

C)We cannot be sure unless we find out its boiling point.

Explanation:

I will like to clearly state that simply comparing two compounds will not tell us exactly which one will be a liquid, solid or gas at room temperature.

If I want to determine whether an unknown substance will be a liquid at room temperature, I will have to measure its boiling point. If the boiling point is above room temperature, and the melting point is below room temperature, it’s a liquid. If the boiling point of the unknown substance is below room temperature, it is a gas.

This confirms that we cannot conclude on the state of matter in which a compound exists unless we know something about its boiling point, not by inspecting the properties of neighbouring compounds in the same homologous series

The correct answers :

It increases with a decrease in the concentration of H₂(g).

It decreases with an increase in the concentration of S₂(g).

It decreases with an increase in the concentration of H₂(g).

<h3 /><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Forward reaction : rate to form product

In equilibrium :

The product decreases ⇒ system will move from left to right(forward reaction)

The product increases ⇒ system will move from right to left(reverse reaction)
