Answer:

= 3/4

Explanation:

Half life is the time taken by a radioactove element to decay by half of its original mass.

The half life of tritium is 12.3 years , therefore it would take 12.3 years for tritium to decay to a half its original mass.

Using the formula;

New mass = Initial mass × (1/2)^n ; where n is the number of half lives.

n = 5.2 years/12.3 years

  = 52/123

Therefore;

New mass = 1 × (1/2)^(52/123)

                  = 0.74599

                  = 0.75

The fraction of a tritium sample after 5.20 years will be approximately 3/4

The balanced chemical equations are as follows:

  • AlBr₃ + K → 3 KBr + Al
  • FeO + PdF₂ → FeF₂ + PdO
  • P₄ + 6 Br₂ → 4 PBr₃
  • 2 LiCl + Br₂ → 2 LiBr + Cl₂

<h3>What are balanced chemical equations?</h3>

Balanced chemical equations in which the moles of atoms of elements taking part in a reaction are balanced on both sides of the equation.

The balancing of chemical equations follows the law of conservation of mass which states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed.

In balancing of chemical equations, the following steps are follows:

  1. ensure that the all the substances involved are written in the equation
  2. do not alter the formula of compounds or molecules
  3. add numerical coefficients in front of the compounds and molecules to ensure that the moles of atoms of elements are balanced on both sides of the equation

In conclusion, a balanced chemical equation obeys the law of conservation of mass.

What is the octet rule? What is it based on?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects the observation that main group elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.
