Radioactive material obeys 1st order decay kinetics,
For 1st order reaction, we have
k =

where, k = rate constant of reaction
Given: Initial conc. 100, Final conc. = 6.25, t = 18.9 hours
∴ k =

= 0.1467 hours^(-1)
Now, for 1st order reactions: half life =

= 4.723 hours.
Answer:
A. Increasing the temperature will favor forward reaction and more CaCo3 formed.
B. More CaCo3 will be formed.
C. CaCo3 will decrease and more react ants formed.
D. Less CaCo3 will be formed.
E. Iridium is a catalyst so there is no effect
Explanation:
A. Temperature will increase because it's an endothermic reaction.
B. Adding Cao will favor forward reaction and more CaCo3 formed.
C. Removing methane, more react ants are formed and CaCo3 decreases.
D. Irridi is a catalyst so it has no effect on the CaCo3 but only speeds its rate of reaction.
Elements of Group 1 and group 2 in the periodic
table contain elements so reactive that they are never found in the free state
<u>Explanation</u>:
The metals in group 1 of periodic table consisting of 'alkali metals' which include lithium, potassium, sodium, rubidium, Francium and caesium. They are highly reactive because they have low ionisation energy and larger radius. The group 2 metals consist of 'alkaline earth metals' which include calcium, strontium, barium, beryllium, radium and magnesium. These alkaline earth metal have +2 oxidation number, hence are highly reactive.
These both group metals are mostly reactive and so are never found in a free state. When they are exposed to air they would immediately react with oxygen. Hence, are stored in oils to avoid oxidation.
Melting ice cream is a physical change because it is a phase change, the water in the ice cream gains thermal energy and the inter-molecular forces are overcome and the molecules move further apart forming a liquid. It is not a chemical change because no chemical reactions occurred.
