A 100g sample of Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5 years. How much Carbon-14 is left after 10 years?

Answer: The amount of carbon-14 left after 10 years is 25 g

Explanation:

Formula used :

a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives = ?

a_o = Initial amount of the reactant = 100 g

n = number of half lives =\frac{\text {given time}}{\text {half life}}=\frac{10}{5}=2

Putting values in above equation, we get:

a=\frac{100g}{2^2}

a=\frac{100g}{4}=25g

Therefore, the amount of carbon-14 left after 10 years is 25 g

Are these synthesis decomposition single replacement or double replacement?
marishachu [46]

Answer:

1. Synthesis

2. Decomposition

3. Single replacement

4. Synthesis

5. Decomposition

6. Synthesis

Explanation:

Kind of a hard picture to look at but let me define each chemical reaction:

Synthesis:

a + b ---> ab   In synthesis elements/compounds come together to form new                compounds

Decomposition:

ab ---> a + b   In decomposition a compound breaks down to form 2 elements/compounds

Single replacement:

a + bc ---> b + ac   In a single replacement one element/compound takes the place of another element/compound.

Double replacement

ab + cd ---> ad + bc In a double replacement 2 compounds exchange different elements/compounds.

Now, let's go through the assignment

1. P + O2 --> P4O10  This is a synthesis reaction because the two elements (P and O) came together to form one compound.

2. HgO ---> Hg + O2  This is a decomposition reaction because HgO broke into separate elements Hg and O.

3. Cl2 + NaBr ---> NaCl + Br2  This is a single replacement reaction because chlorine (Cl) replaced the spot of bromine (Br) to bond with sodium (Na).

4.  Mg + O2 ---> MgO  This is a synthesis reaction because two elements (Mg and O) came together to form one compound.

5. Al2O3 ---> Al + O2  This is a decomposition reactions because Al2O3 broke into separate elements Al and O.

6. H2 + N2 ---> NH3  This is a synthesis reaction because two elements (H and N) came together to form one compound.

Please use the below balanced equation to answer this question.    2H2(g)  +  O2(g)  -&gt;   2H2O(l) How many grams of water wil
Blizzard [7]
At STP (standard temperature and pressure conditions), 1 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L 
This rule is applied to O₂
22.4 L volume occupied by 1 mol
Therefore 83.4 L occupied by - 1/ 22.4 x 83.4 = 3.72 mol
stoichiometry of O₂ to H₂O is 1:2
then the number of moles of water produced - 3.72 mol x 2= 7.44 mol
mass of water produced - 7.44 mol x 18.01 g/mol = 134.1 g
correct answer is D
