Answer:

200 Days

Explanation:

Usually not so good in chemistry, but this is math!

Half life means in this time half goes away.  What happens when two half lives pass?  half of what was remaining goes away.  Maybe an example will make it more clear.

Say we start with 100 grams.  After the amount of time for the half life to pass completes, we have 50, or half of the original amount.  The half life time passes again and THAT gets cut in half to 25 grams.  this is 1/4 of the original (Hey, what we're looking for.)  Just to make it clear what is happening after another half life 1/8 remains, so it goes from The starting amount to 1/2 to 1/4 to 1/8 and so on, it keeps getting cut in half.

So how many times do we have to cut 1 in half until we get to 1/4?  Twice as was shown before.  Now, two half lives for this element is what?  100+100 days.  So 200 Days.

How to I find the number of electrons in and Atom?
Inessa [10]
Look at the atomic number of an element on the periodic table which is the smaller number.
The atomic number shows the number of protons/electrons so the number of protons and electrons are the same.
Whereas the mass number of an element (the other number) is the number of protons + neutrons.

When 1.008 g of hydrogen reacts with chlorine in a calorimeter containing 500.00 g water, the
jeyben [28]

The heat released by reaction : C) -8870 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

1.008 g of hydrogen

500.00 g water

The temperature rises 25.00 °C to 29.24 °C

Required

energy required

Solution

Q absorbed by water :

Q = m.c.Δt

Q = 500 g x 4.18 J/g C x (29.24-25)

Q = 8870.08 J

The reaction to produce HCl is an exothermic reaction (releasing heat), so that Q is negative

Q water = -Q HCl = -8870.08 J
