Look up chromium on periodic table.
It's atomic number is 24.
It gives number of protons in an element.
Since the atom is uncharged (no extra or subtracted electrons), the number of protons will equal the number of electrons.
The rate constant of the reaction K we can get it from this formula:
K=㏑2/ t1/2 and when we have this given (missing in question):
that we have one jar is labeled t = 0 S and has 16 yellow spheres inside and the jar beside it labeled t= 10 and has 8 yellow spheres and 8 blue spheres and the yellow spheres represent the reactants A and the blue represent the products B
So when after 10 s and we were having 16 yellow spheres as reactants and becomes 8 yellow and 8 blue spheres as products so it decays to the half amount so we can consider T1/2 = 10 s
a) by substitution in K formula:
∴ K = ㏑2 / 10 = 0.069
The amount of A (the reactants) after N half lives = Ao / 2^n
b) so no.of yellow spheres after 20 s (2 half-lives) = 16/2^2 = 4
and the blue spheres = Ao - no.of yellow spheres left = 16 - 4 = 12
c) The no.of yellow spheres after 30 s (3 half-lives) = 16/2^3 = 2
and the blue spheres = 16 - 2 = 14
