If the half-life of a sample of a radioactive substance is 30 seconds, how much would be left after 60 seconds? <span>
A. one-fourth</span>
Answer:
5 moles of electrons
Explanation:
The balance equation is as follow,
<span> 5 Ag</span>⁺ + Mn⁺²<span> + 4 H</span>₂O →<span> 5 Ag + MnO</span>₄⁻<span> + 8 H</span>⁺
Reduction of Ag:
Ag⁺ + 1 e⁻ → Ag
Or,
5 Ag⁺ + 5 e⁻ → 5 Ag
Oxidation of Mn:
Mn⁺² → MnO₄⁻ + 5 e⁻
Result:
Hence 5 moles of Ag⁺ accepts 5 electrons from 1 mole of Mn⁺².
A. hydroxide is the answer
NaCI is the answer, in what my teacher taught me.
Hope I helped :)
