Answer:
10.8 days (3 sig.figs.)
Explanation:
All radioactive decay is 1st order decay defined by the expression A = A₀e^-kt
which is solved for time of decay (t) => t = ln(A/A₀) / -k
A = final weight = 1.0 gram
A₀ = initial weight = 16.0 grams
k = rate constant = 0.693/t(1/2) = 0.693/2.69 days = 0.258 days⁻¹
t = ln(1/16) / -0.258da⁻¹ = (-2.77/-0.258) days = 10.74646792 days (calculator)
≅ 10 days (1 sig. fig. based on given 1 gram mass)

Study this chemical reaction:
Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that happen in this reaction.
Oxidation:
Reduction:
Answer:
Oxidation taking place in given reaction :
Reduction taking place in given reaction;
Explanation:
Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur side by side.
Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.
Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.
In the given reaction, iron(II) ions are getting reduced and zinc metal is getting oxidized to zinc(II) ions.

For this problem, you would need to know the specific heat of water, that is, the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 degree C. The formula is q = c X m X delta T, where q is the specific heat of water, m is the mass and delta T is the change in temperature. If we look up the specific heat of water, we find it is 4.184 J/(g X degree C). The temperature of the water went up 20 degrees.
4.184 x 713 x 20.0 = 59700 J to 3 significant digits, or 59.7 kJ.
Now, that is the energy to form B2O3 from 1 gram of boron. If we want kJ/mole, we need to do a little more work.
To find the number of moles of Boron contained in 1 gram, we need to know the gram atomic mass of Boron, which is 10.811. Dividing 1 gram of boron by 10.811 gives us .0925 moles of boron. Since it takes 2 moles of boron to make 1 mole B2O3, we would divide the number of moles of boron by two to get the number of moles of B2O3.
.0925/2 = .0462 moles...so you would divide the energy in KJ by the number of moles to get KJ/mole. 59.7/.0462 = 1290 KJ/mole.</span>
To determine mass of the given number of atoms of mercury, we need a factor that would relate the number of atoms to number of moles. In this case, we use the Avogadro's number. It is a <span>number that represents the
number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x
10^23 units / mole. The number of units could be atoms, molecules, ions or electrons. To convert into mass, we use the given amu of mercury since it is equal to grams per mole. We calculate as follows:
</span>3.0 x 10^10 atoms ( 1 mol / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms ) ( 200.59 g / 1 mol ) = 9.99x10^-12 g Hg
