Given, half life of a certain radioactive element = 800 years.
Amount of substance remaining at time t = 12.5%
Lets consider the initial amount of the radioactive substance = 100%
Using the half life equation:
A = A₀(1/2)^t/t₁/₂
where A₀ is the amount of radioactive substance at time zero and A is the amount of radioactive substance at time t, and t₁/₂ is the half-life of the radioactive substance.
Plugging the given data into the half life equation we have,
12.5 = 100 . (1/2)^t/800
12.5/100 = (1/2)^t/800
0.125 = (0.5)^t/800
(0.5)^3 = (0.5)^t/800
3 = t/800
t = 2400 years
Thus the object is 2400 years old.
Answer:
At equilibrium, reactants predominate.
Explanation:
For every reaction, the equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio between the concentration of products and reactants. Thus, for the reaction N2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇌ 2NO the expression of its equilibrium constant is:
![Keq = \frac{[NO]^{2}}{[O_{2} ][N_{2}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Keq%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BNO%5D%5E%7B2%7D%7D%7B%5BO_%7B2%7D%20%5D%5BN_%7B2%7D%5D%7D)
Since the equilibrium constant is Keq = 4.20x10-31 the concentration of reactants O2 and N2 must be much higher than products to obtain such a small number as 4.20x10-31 at the equilibrium. Hence, at equilibrium reactants predominate.
Answer:
<u>2-chlorohexane</u>
Explanation:
<u>In this figure</u> :
- There are 6 carbon atoms
- The Cl atom is bonded to the 2nd carbon atom
⇒ The Cl is a substituent group, termed as -chloro
⇒ Based on IUPAC nomenclature, the 6 atom chain starts with hex
⇒ There are only single bonds present, so it is an alkane
<u>The name is</u> :
