Answer:

Explanation:
When percentage composition is given, and asked for the empirical formula, it is simplest to assume 100 g of material. Thus,
Mass C = 40.92 g. Moles C = 40.92 g x 1 mole/12 g = 3.41 moles C
Mass H = 4.58 g. Moles H = 4.58 g x 1 mole/1.0 g = 4.58 moles H
Mass O = 54.50 g. Moles O = 54.50 g x 1 mole/16 g = 3.41 moles O
Now, we want to get the moles into whole numbers, so we begin by dividing all by the smallest, i.e. divide all values by 3.41.
Moles C = 3.41/3.41 = 1
Moles H = 4.58/3.41 = 1.34
Moles O = 3.41/3.41 = 1
Now, in order to get 1.34 to be a whole number we multiply it (and all others) by 3
Moles C = 1x3 = 3
Moles H = 1.34x3 = 4
Moles O = 1x3 = 3
Empirical Formula 
The radioactive decay obeys first order kinetics
the rate law expression for radioactive decay is
![ln\frac{[A_{0}]}{[A_{t}]}=kt](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=ln%5Cfrac%7B%5BA_%7B0%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BA_%7Bt%7D%5D%7D%3Dkt)
Where
A0 = initial concentration
At = concentration after time "t"
t = time
k = rate constant
For first order reaction the relation between rate constant and half life is:

Let us calculate k
k = 0.693 / 72 = 0.009625 years⁻¹
Given
At = 0.25 A0

time = 144 years
So after 144 years the sample contains 25% parent isotope and 75% daughter isotopes**
Simply two half lives
Answer:
you tilt the cylinder at a slight angle so that the metal slides down the sides, rather than drops all it`s weight to the bottom
Chemical properties is when a material undergoes a chemical change or reaction like a nail rusting and a physical change can be observed without changing the material like temperature, color, texture, odor,etc.
