Half-life is the time required for decay of 50% of radio-active nuclei.

Thus, when radio-active material crosses 1st half-life, 100/2 = 50% radio-active material is left and remaining 50% is elapsed.

When, when radio-active material crosses 2nd half-life, 50/2 = 25% radio-active material is left and remaining 75% is elapsed.

When radio-active material crosses 3rd half-life, 25/2 = 12.5% radio-active material is left and remaining 87.5% is elapsed.

Thus, 2 <span>half-lives must elapse until 84 % of a radioactive sample of atoms has decayed.</span>

Chloroform (CHCl3), an important solvent, is produced by a reaction between methane and chlorine. CH4(g) + 3 Cl2(g) CHCl3(g) + 3
PIT_PIT [208]
CH₄(g) + 3 Cl₂(g) → CHCl₃(g) + 3 HCl(g)
From the equation we notice that 1 mole of methane produces 1 mole of chloroform:
16 g Methane → 119.38 g Chloroform
?   g Methane → 37.5 g Chloroform
by cross multiplication:
= (16 * 37.5) / 119.38 = 5.0 g methane
