So half life is the time taken for a sample to decay to half its original mass, its a constant and applies to any original mass, it could be 5g or 1kg, it will take the same amount of time for the original mass to half. In this case the half life is 3 days.

After 3 days the sample will be at half its original mass, now 50g. 

Now we can treat the 50g as if its a new sample. After another 3 days (6 days in total) there will be half of 50g left, = 25g.

How would you test a colorless crystalline compound to determine if it was a hydrate?
Cloud [144]

A hydrate is a substance where in it contains water and other constituent elements. To know whether if that compound was a hydrate,you should record its mass, then put it in a test tube and heat it with a Bunsen burner. If the compound is a hydrate, the water in the compound will discharge in the form of water vapor. At the next 5-10 minutes, remove it in the test tube and weigh it up again. If the mass is now fewer, that means that there was water existing that has now evaporated, and the compound was a hydrate.

What changes occur in the nuclei of atoms involved in the reactions that fuel nuclear power plants?
Marina CMI [18]
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions that occur in the nuclei of an atom.
Here are the major differences between the two:

1. To differentiate the two, fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller atoms while fusion is the conjoining or fusion of two or smaller atoms into larger one.

2.  Fission does not normally occur in nature while fusion occurs mostly in heavenly bodies such as the stars.

3.Fission produces highly radioactive particles that can be hazardous to both the living things and its habitat or environment while fusion is "clean energy" and "environmental friendly" meaning there are fewer radioactive particles are produced. But if a fission "trigger" is being used, there will  be radioactive particles produced.

Among the two nuclear changes, fission is widely used because this reaction produces heat in nuclear reactor. This heat is used to generate steam which operates the turbines to eventually produce electricity.

When a compound such as X2Z4 is created, what would be the<br> correct simplified chemical formula?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

XZ2

Explanation:

There are different ways in which compounds can be represented. Broadly, we have three different types of formula;

- Structural formular: This shows how th atoms in te compound are connected to each other.

- Molecular formular: This shows the actual number of atoms of element present in the compound

- Empirical Formular: This is the simplest formular of a compound. It basically shows the number of atoms in simple ration to each other.

This question requires us to input the empirical formular;

X2Z4

The ratio of the elements is; 2 : 4 which can be simplified into 1 : 2

This means the empirical formular is XZ2

Identify the true statement(s). There may be one answer or more than one answer.FADH2 is a reducing agent. FADH2 is an oxidizing
adell [148]

Answer:

FADH2 is a reducing agent.

FAD is an oxidizing agent.

Explanation:

The full form of FAD is flavin adenine dinucleotide. It is mainly a redox-active coenzyme which is associated with the different proteins and is involved with the enzymatic reactions in the metabolism.

FAD is obtained by donating or accepting electrons.

In the citric acid cycle,

succinate + FAD → fumarate + $FADH_2$

Thus we see that FAD is an oxidizing agent while $FADH_2$ is a reducing agent.
