Answer:

After one-half life: 16 mg

After 2-half lives: 8 mg

After 3-half lives: 4 mg

After 4-half lives: 2 mg

After 5-half lives: 1 mg

(5 half-lives) x (8 days/half-life) = 40 days  

or doing it the mathematical way:  Let z be the number of days to be found:

1 mg = 32 mg x (1/2)^(z / 8 days)  

1/32 = (1/2)^(z / 8 days)  

log (1/32) = (z / 8 days) x log (1/2)  

z / 8 days = log (1/32) / log (1/2)

z = 8 days x log (1/32) / log (1/2) = 40 days

Match the following reactions with the reaction type. You may use each type more than once.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

1) Decomposition

2)Double-replacement reaction

3)synthesis

4)Double-replacement reaction

5)single-replacement reaction

6)Double-replacement reaction

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Synthesis: This is a reaction where two or more reactants will combine to form a new, single product. This is  occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product.  This can be shown with the following equation.

A + B → C

A and B are the reactants to form a new product C

Decomposition: This is a reaction where 1 (more complex) compound will be broken down into 2 or more (more simple)  products.

This can be shown by the following equation:

AB → A + B

A single replacement: This is a reaction where one element wil be replaced by another element in the same compound. This can be shown by the following equation:

A + BC → B + AC

Here is the elemnt B in the compound BC, replaced by the element A, to form a new compound AC

A double-replacement: This is a reaction where the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds will be exchanged and 2 new compounds willbe formed. This can be shown by the following equation:

AB+CD→AD+BC

A combustion reaction requires oxygen gas (O2) to produce the  products CO2 and H2O

Step 2:

1) 2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O2(g)

⇒ Decomposition

2) KCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)

⇒  Double-replacement reaction

3) 2Na(s) + H2(g) → 2NaH(s)

⇒ synthesis

4) Mg(OH)2(aq) + 2HNO2(aq) → Mg(NO2)2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

⇒  Double-replacement reaction

5) Ca(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)

⇒  Single-replacement reaction

6) Al2O3(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Al2(SO4)3(aq) + H2O(l)

⇒  Double-replacement reaction
