After the first half-life, 1/2 is unchanged. After the 2nd one, 1/4 remains. After the 4th one, 1/16 remains. So you have 4 half-lives in 48 hours, the half-life is thus 12 hours.

The table shows the number of reactants and products present during two separate chemical reactions.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A decomposition reaction is defined as a reaction where a compound dissociates into two or more atoms.

For example, A \rightarrow B + C + D

Whereas a chemical reaction in which two reactants combine together to result in the formation of a compound is known as a synthesis reaction.

For example, A + B \rightarrow C is a synthesis reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement chemical reaction A, because the reactant is a compound identifies the decomposition reaction and describes a substance is involved.

What happens to the rate of a reaction as the reaction progresses?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

D. The rate decreases as reactants are used up.

Explanation:

Initially, the rate increases until the reaction is at equilibrium. At equilibrium, the rate is constant.

As the reaction progresses, the rate decreases to zero when reactants are used up ( for irriversible reactions only )
