<span>At 20g with half-life of 5 minutes there would be 10g leftover in 5 minutes. In 10 mins, there would be 5g leftover. Half-life is actually what it says, it refers to time it takes for half of the active elements, etc to break down at which time the potency of the "product" is half as strong. This term is used mainly with radioactive items or medicines.</span>

Y_Kistochka [10]

Some compounds only have 1 formula if they are simple or have no common factors. Eg methane, CH4 is its molecular and empirical because its the simplest whole number ratio and includes every element in the molecule
