Answer:

The answer to your question is 25 grams

Explanation:

Data

half-life = 5730 years

sample = 200 g

after 3 half-lives

Process

Calculate the amount of sample after one, two and three half-lives.

After each half-life, that of sample is half the previous amount.

                         Number of half-lives           Amount of sample

                                       0                                        200 g

                                        1                                         100 g

                                        2                                          50 g

                                       3                                           25 g

What Is Oxidation Reaction
Deffense [45]

Oxidation reaction is a type of reaction wherein there is  a loss of electrons. An oxidation reaction may also be a reducing agent. Example is the reaction Zn + 2H+ = Zn2+ + H2. When you separate them by their half cell reaction, you have 2H+ 1e- = H2. H here is the reducing agent and has lost 1 electron in the process.

Consider the reaction. X ( g ) + Y ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − Z ( g ) K p = 1.00 at 300 K In which direction will the net reaction proceed fo
marta [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have in this question the equilibrium

X ( g ) + Y ( g ) ⇆  Z ( g )

With the equilibrium contant Kp = pZ/(pX x pY)

The moment we change the concentration of Y, we are changing effectively the partial pressure of Y since pressure and concentration are directly proportional

pV = nRT ⇒ p = nRT/V and n/V is molarity.

Therefore we can calculate the reaction quotient Q

Qp = pZ/(pX x pY) = 1/ 1  x 0.5 atm = 2

Since Qp is greater than Kp the system proceeds from right to left.

We could also arrive to the same conclusion by applying LeChatelier´s principle which states that any disturbance in the equilibrium, the system will react in such a way to counteract the change to restore the equilibrium. Therefore, by having reduced the pressure of Y the system will react favoring the reactants side increasing some of the y pressure until restoring the equilibrium Kp = 1.

likoan [24]
If you really keep an eye on the flow chart, the only ions you can consider as being "Definitely not present" are: Cr3+, Fe3+, and Zn2+. The rest of the ions should be considered under "Possibly present", as we cannot conclude if any of the ions are "Definitely present".

Why is heat needed to get a reaction to occur
Ahat [919]

Answer:As temperature increases, reactions take place. Generally, higher temperatures mean faster reaction rates; as molecules move about more quickly, reactant molecules are more likely to interact, forming products.
