Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass. In this case, the halflife of the radioactive isotope is 5000 years. 
Initially the mass is 100 %; thus the mass that will be left will be given by;
New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n where n is the number of half lives; 
  n = 10000/5000 = 2
New mass = 100% ×(1/2)^2
                 = 100 % × 1/4 
                 = 25%
Therefore; the mass left after 10000 years is 25% or 1/4 of the original mass.

Given the following reaction and data, A + B → Products
natima [27]

Answer:

a. Rate = k×[A]

b. k = 0.213s⁻¹

Explanation:

a. When you are studying the kinetics of a reaction such as:

A + B → Products.

General rate law must be like:

Rate = k×[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ

You must make experiments change initial concentrations of A and B trying to find k, a and b parameters.

If you see experiments 1 and 3, concentration of A is doubled and the Rate of the reaction is doubled to. That means a = 1

Rate = k×[A]¹[B]ᵇ

In experiment 1 and to the concentration of B change from 1.50M to 2.50M but rate maintains the same. That is only possible if b = 0. (The kinetics of the reaction is indepent to [B]

Rate = k×[A][B]⁰

<h3>Rate = k×[A]</h3>

b. Replacing with values of experiment 1 (You can do the same with experiment 3 obtaining the same) k is:

Rate = k×[A]

0.320M/s = k×[1.50M]

<h3>k = 0.213s⁻¹</h3>

If 45.6 grams of water decompose at 301 Kelvin and 1.24 atmospheres, how many liters of oxygen gas can be produced? Show all of
Artyom0805 [142]

This reaction is called the electrolysis of water. The balanced reaction is:

 2H2O = 2H2 + O2

<span>
We are given the amount of water for the electrolysis reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculation.

45.6 grams H2O (1 mol H2O / 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O) = 1.27 mol O2

V = nRT/P = </span><span>1.27 mol O2 (0.08206 atm L / mol K) (301 K) / 1.24 atm
V = 25.20 L O2</span>

The mass of a single gold atom is 3.27X10^-22 grams. How many gold Adams with there be in 57.8 mg of gold.
vichka [17]

Answer:

18 * 10^19 atoms

Explanation:

We must first convert 57.8 mg to grams.

If 1000 mg = 1g

  57.8 mg = 57.8/1000 = 57.8 * 10^-3 g

Now;

If 1 gold atom has a mass of 3.27X10^-22 grams

x gold atoms have a mass of 57.8 * 10^-3 g

x = 57.8 * 10^-3 g/3.27X10^-22 g

x = 18 * 10^19 atoms

Give a chemical formula for the compound formed when sulfur dioxide reacts with water
zavuch27 [327]
When sulfur dioxide reacts with water , the product is called sulphurous acid, H2SO3. The balanced equation is expressed in the following manner : SO2  + H2O = H2SO3. There is a one mole to one mole ratio between any of the reactants to product, sulphurous acid.
