Hey there!

A half-life means after a certain amount of time, half of that substance will be gone/changed after that time.

There are two half lives in 20 years because 20 ÷ 10 = 2.

So, we divide the 100g sample in half 2 times.

100 ÷ 2 = 50

50 ÷ 2 = 25

There will be 25g of the radioactive sample remaining after two half lives.

Hope this helps!

The analysis of a compound gives the following percent composition by mass: C: 52.14 percent; H: 9.946 percent; S: 12.66 percent
wariber [46]

Answer:

C11H25SO4

Explanation:

The total mass of the compound is 253.4 g, so, the mass of each element will be:

C: 52.14% of 253.4 = 0.5214x253.4 = 132.12 g

H: 9.946% of 253.4 = 0.09946x253.4 = 25.20 g

S: 12.66% of 253.4 = 0.1266x253.4 = 32.08 g

O: 25.26% of 253.4 = 0.2526x253.4 = 64.00 g

The molar mass are: C = 12 g/mol, H 1 g/mol, S = 32 g/mol, and O = 16 g/mol

So, to know how much moles will be, just divide the mass calculated above for the molar mass:

C: 132.12/12 = 11 moles

H: 25.20/ 1 = 25 moles

S: 32.08/32 = 1 mol

O: 64.00/16 = 4 moles

So the molecular formula is C11H25SO4

Predict how the addition of a catalyst would affect the rate of the reaction below, and explain your prediction H2 (g) + I2 (g)
Fynjy0 [20]
A catalyst is a chemical substance that hastens the chemical reaction. This does not participates in the creating the product(s) but allows it to be formed easily. With this, it is now known that the rate of the reaction becomes relatively higher compared to the uncatalyzed reactions.

Therefore, the answer to this item is the rate of the reaction becomes faster.
