Answer:

1 gram

Explanation:

Half life = 25 years

Starting mass = 16 grams

Time = 100 years

Number of half lives = Time / Duration of Half life = 100 / 25 = 4

After first Half life;

Remaining mass = 16 / 2 =  8 g

After Second Half life;

Remaining mass = 8 / 2 =  4 g

After Third Half life;

Remaining mass = 4 / 2 =  2 g

After Fourth Half life;

Remaining mass = 2 / 2 = 1 g

<span>Raising the temperature of the reactants increases the reaction between the reactants. The kinetic energy of the molecules of the reactants collides more frequently with ach other thereby increasing its reaction. Increasing the concentration of the reactants increases the reaction rate. Adding a catalyst to the reaction increases the rate of reaction of a substance. The catalyst hastens the chemical reaction. </span>

For the reaction below at a particular temperature, the concentrations at equilibrium were observed to be: [F2] = 2.1× 10–2 mol/
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Kc = 1.9x10^-6

Explanation:

You are missing the reaction, however, let me write the reaction for you:

F2(g) <----------> 2F(g)

Now, remember that for an equilibrium reaction, that means that a reaction is not complete at all, we have a value of equilibrium constant, usually called Kc.

This value of Kc is the result of concentrations of products and reactants:

Kc = [Products] / [Reactants]

However, you should note that only substances and compounds in gaseous phase and aquous contribute to the equilibrium. This is because solid and liquid concentrations values are constants and near to 1.

Now for a general reaction like this one:

aA(g) + bB(g) <--------> cC(g) + dD(g)

The expression of Kc would be:

Kc = [C]^c * [D]^d / [A]^a * [B]^b

The letters a, b, c, d are the coefficients that balance the equation and they should be considered in the equilibrium, that is why they are elevated.

Now, with this clear, let's apply these concepts to the reaction here:

F2(g) <----------> 2F(g)

The expression of Kc will be:

Kc = [F]² / [F2]

Replacing the given values in the above expression, we can solve for Kc:

Kc = (2x10^-4)² / (2.1x10^-2)

Kc = 1.9x10^-6

This is the value of Kc and have no units.
