a. reaction 1: CCl4 → CH4
b. reaction 2: N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3
c. reaction 3: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O + Au
Answer:
When the transfer of electrons occurs, an electrostatic attraction between the two ions of opposite charge takes place and an ionic bond is formed. A salt such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is a good example of a molecule with ionic bonding
Answer:
Two half lives.
Explanation:
It is known that the decay of isotopes and radioactive material obeys first order kinetics.
Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.
That means for a sample 100% to decay to 50 % it will take one half-life, and to decay the remaining 50% to 25% it will take another half-life.
So, for a sample has 25% parent and 75% daughter it will have two half-lives.
You need to use Avogadro's constant to convert from atoms of carbon to moles of carbon.
1.71*10^24 atoms C * (1 mole/6.022*10^23 atoms) = 2.84 moles of carbon
