This question is testing to see how well you understand the "half-life" of radioactive elements, and how well you can manipulate and dance around them. This is not an easy question.
The idea is that the "half-life" is a certain amount of time. It's the time it takes for 'half' of the atoms in any sample of that particular unstable element to 'decay' ... their nuclei die, fall apart, and turn into nuclei of other elements.
Look over the table. There are 4,500 atoms of this radioactive substance when the time is 12,000 seconds, and there are 2,250 atoms of it left when the time is ' y ' seconds. Gosh ... 2,250 is exactly half of 4,500 ! So the length of time from 12,000 seconds until ' y ' is the half life of this substance ! But how can we find the length of the half-life ? ? ?
Maybe we can figure it out from other information in the table !
Here's what I found:
Do you see the time when there were 3,600 atoms of it ?
That's 20,000 seconds.
... After one half-life, there were 1,800 atoms left.
... After another half-life, there were 900 atoms left.
... After another half-life, there were 450 atoms left.
==> 450 is in the table ! That's at 95,000 seconds.
So the length of time from 20,000 seconds until 95,000 seconds
is three half-lifes.
The length of time is (95,000 - 20,000) = 75,000 sec
3 half lifes = 75,000 sec
Divide each side by 3 : 1 half life = 25,000 seconds
There it is ! THAT's the number we need. We can answer the question now.
==> 2,250 atoms is half of 4,500 atoms.
==> ' y ' is one half-life later than 12,000 seconds
==> ' y ' = 12,000 + 25,000
y = 37,000 seconds .
Check:
Look how nicely 37,000sec fits in between 20,000 and 60,000 in the table.
As I said earlier, this is not the simplest half-life problem I've seen.
You really have to know what you're doing on this one. You can't
bluff through it.
Answer: when reactants and products are gases at STP.
Justification:
1) STP stands for standard temperature (0°) and pressure (1 atm).
2) According to the kinetic molecular theory of the gases, and as per Avogadro's principle, equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules.
3) Since the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent number of moles, when reactants and products are gases at the same temperature and pressure, the mole ratios are the same that the volume ratios, and then the coefficients of the chemical equation represent the volume ratios.
Answer:
Some things that were wrong with Rutherford's model were that the orbiting electrons should give off energy and eventually spiral down into the nucleus, making the atom collapse. Bohr proposed his quantized shell model of the atom to explain how electrons can have stable orbits around the nucleus. To remedy the stability problem, Bohr modified the Rutherford model by requiring that the electrons move in orbits of fixed size and energy.

Explanation:
First, let us calculate the molar mass of Cu(CN)2. This is illustrated below:
Molar Mass of Cu(CN)2 = 63.5 + 2(12+14) = 63.5 + 2(26) = 63.5 + 52 = 115.5g/mol
Number of mole of Cu(CN)2 given from the question = 4moles
Mass = number of mole x molar Mass
Mass of Cu(CN)2 = 4 x 115.5
Mass of Cu(CN)2 = 462g
