_Mg + _HCL = _MgCl2 + H2
Separate the terms on each side:

_Mg + _HCl = _MgCl2 + H2

Mg- 1 Mg-1

H-1 H-2

Cl-1 Cl-2

Mg is balanced on both sides so move on to the next (put a 1 in the space).

1Mg

There are two H's and two Cl's on the results side, so to balance the equation put a 2 as a coefficient for HCl and it'll all balance out.

2HCl

Balamced equation will be:

1Mg + 2HCL = 1MgCl2 + H2

In a redox reaction, how does the total number of electrons lost by the oxidized substance compare to the total number of electr

snow_lady [41]

The answer is (2) equal to. In redox reactions, you can't just lose electrons somewhere. If an electrons is lost by one, it must be gained by another. Hence, the importance of balancing redox reactions.

What is the half-life of an isotope that decays to 6.25% of its original activity in 18.9 hours?

Radioactive material obeys 1st order decay kinetics,
For 1st order reaction, we have
k = $\frac{2.303}{t}Xlog \frac{\text{initial conc.}}{\text{final conc.}}$
where, k = rate constant of reaction

Given: Initial conc. 100, Final conc. = 6.25, t = 18.9 hours

∴ k = $\frac{2.303}{18.9} X log \frac{100}{6.25}$ = 0.1467 hours^(-1)

Now, for 1st order reactions: half life = $\frac{0.693}{k} = \frac{0.693}{0.1467}$ = 4.723 hours.
