Let's write the reaction first.

HCl + H₂O ---> H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻

These reaction has two reactants, either the proton donor or the proton acceptor. Water is amphoteric, meaning it can act as an acid or base. Since HCl is an acid, then water in this reaction acts as a base. 

1. The proton donor is HCl because it donates H+ to water which yields a hydronium ion, H₃O⁺.
2. The proton acceptor is water.

What is the half-life of 20 g of a radioactive sample if 5 g remain after 8 minutes?
Anni [7]

Hello!

The half-life is the time of half-disintegration, it is the time in which half of the atoms of an isotope disintegrate.

We have the following data:

mo (initial mass) = 20 g

m (final mass after time T) = 5 g

x (number of periods elapsed) = ?

P (Half-life) = ? (in minutes)

T (Elapsed time for sample reduction) = 8 minutes

Let's find the number of periods elapsed (x), let us see:

m =  \dfrac{m_o}{2^x}

5 =  \dfrac{20}{2^x}

2^x = \dfrac{20}{5}

2^x = 4

2^x = 2^2

\boxed{x = 2}


Now, let's find the half-life (P) of the radioactive sample, let's see:

T = x*P

8 = 2*P

2\:P = 8

P = \dfrac{8}{2}

\boxed{\boxed{P = 4\:minutes}}\Longleftarrow(Half-Life)\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)
