Explanation:
The shorthand nuclear reaction equations have been given; the first particle in the parentheses is a reactant particle while the second particle is a product particle. These can now be rewritten as the longhand equations as follows;
238/92U + 4/2 He -------> 241/94Pu + 1/0 n
238/92U + 4/2 He ------> 241/94Pu + 1/0 n
14/7N + 4/2 He------> 17/8O + 1/1 p
56/26Fe + 2 4/2 He----> 60/29Cu + 4/2 He
The time taken by Carbon-14 to decay radioactively from 120g to 112.5g is 22,920 years.
<h3>How do we calculate the total time of decay?</h3>
Time required for the whole radioactive decay of any substance will be calculated by using the below link:
T = (n)(t), where
- t = half life time = 5730 years
- n = number of half life required for the decay
Initial mass of Carbon-14 = 120g
Final mass of Carbon-14 = 112.5g
Left mass = 120 - 112 = 7.5g
Number of required half life for this will be:
- 1: 120 → 60
- 2: 60 → 30
- 3: 30 → 15
- 4: 15 → 7.5
4 half lives are required, now on putting values we get
T = (4)(5730) = 22,920 years
Hence required time for the decay is 22,920 years.

Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
For the given chemical reaction:
We first must identify the limiting reactant by computing the reacting moles of Al2S3:
Next, we compute the moles of Al2S3 that are consumed by 2.50 of H2O via the 1:6 mole ratio between them:
Thus, we notice that there are more available Al2S3 than consumed, for that reason it is in excess and water is the limiting, therefore, we can compute the theoretical yield of Al(OH)3 via the 2:1 molar ratio between it and Al2S3 with the limiting amount:
Finally, we compute the percent yield with the obtained 2.10 g:
Best regards.
