Answer:

  • 5

Explanation:

Let the number of half lives be x

<u>Solve this equation to find the value of x:</u>

  • 125*(1/2)ˣ = 3.90625
  • (0.5)ˣ = 3.90625 / 125
  • (0.5)ˣ = 0.03125
  • log (0.5)ˣ  = log 0.03125
  • x =  log 0.03125 / log 0.5
  • x = 5

Balance this equation. if a coefficient of "1" is required, choose "blank" for that box.

Step 1: Write Imbalance Equation

                            CH₃CHO  +  O₂    →    CO₂  +  H₂O

Step 2: Balance Carbon Atoms:
                                                 There are 2 carbon atoms at reactant side and one at product side. So multiply CO₂ with 2 to balance them. i.e.

                             CH₃CHO  +  O₂    →    2 CO₂  +  H₂O 

Step 3: Balance Hydrogen Atoms:
                                                      There are 4 hydrogen atoms at reactant side and 2 Hydrogen atoms at product side. So, multiply H₂O by 2 to balance Hydrogen on both sides. i.e.

                    CH₃CHO  +  O₂    →    2 CO₂  +  2 H₂O

Step 4: Balance Oxygen Atoms:
                                                   There are 3 Oxygen atoms at reactant side and 6 Oxygen atoms at product side. In order to balance them multiply O₂ on reactant side by 2.5 (5/2). i.e  

                    CH₃CHO  +  5/2 O₂    →    2 CO₂  +  2 H₂O

Step 6: Eliminate Fraction:
                                         Multiply overall equation by 2 to eliminate fraction. i.e. 

                    2 CH₃CHO  +  5 O₂    →    4 CO₂  +  4 H₂O
