Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

a)

Data

half-life = 16.7 days

go from 1000 to 250 atoms

                                1000

                                  500         1 half life

                                  250         2 half lives

                16.7 days ---------------- 1 half life

                 x             ----------------- 2 half lives

                x = (2 x 16.7) / 1

               x = 33.4 days        

               

b)

number of atoms = ?

after 9 half-lives

                            1000

                              500       1 half life

                               250       2 half lives

                               125        3 half lives

                                62.5     4 half lives

                               31.25     5 half lives

                                15.63    6 half lives

                                 7.81      7 half lives

                                 3.9       8 half lives

                                 1.95      9 half lives

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed and the change in enthalpy for the reaction is positive.

If we look at the reaction 2HgO + 45kcal ----> 2Hg + O2; we will notice that

i) 45kcal of energy was taken in (absorbed) for the reaction to occur

ii) The value of the reaction enthalpy is positive

For these two reasons, the reaction is an endothermic reaction as written.
