<span>The half life of americium is 432 years. That means that after 432 years only half(1/2) of initial amount will be left.
If we had 1 g, then after 432 years we will have only half of it.
1g*1/2=1/2 g=0.5 g
Answer is </span><span>A) 0.5g</span>

assume in a different experiment, you prepare a mixture containing 10.0 M FeSCN2+, 1.0 M H+, 0.1 MFe3+ and 0.1 M HSCN. Is the in
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The mixture is not in equilibrium, the reaction will shift to the left.

Explanation:

<em>Based on the equilibrium:</em>

<em>Fe³⁺+ HSCN ⇄ FeSCN²⁺ + H⁺</em>

<em>kc = 30 = [FeSCN²⁺] [H⁺] / [Fe³⁺] [HSCN]</em>

Where [] are concentrations at equilibrium. The reaction is in equilibrium when  the ratio of concentrations = kc

Q is the same expression than kc but with [] that are not in equilibrium

Replacing:

Q = [10.0M] [1.0M] / [0.1M] [0.1M]

Q = 1000

As Q > kc, the reaction will shift to the left in order to produce Fe³⁺ and HSCN untill Q = Kc
