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.

What does a metal's position in an activity series indicate about the chemical properties of that particular metal?
Fed [463]
The closer to the top the metal is in the list, the more active the metal is and the stronger a reducing agent the metal is. When two different metals are involved in a redox reaction, the metal higher in the list will be oxidized and give up electrons that will reduce the cation of the less active metal.

What pressure is required to reduce 40 ml of a gas at standard conditions to 20 ml at a temperature of 21?c? answer in units of
ElenaW [278]
If you need half the volume, you need double the pressure (V * p). Normal air pressure in the atmosphere is 101300 Pa so that means you need double that, thus 202600 Pa (or 2,026 bars)

sattari [20]
The process where fossil fuels, forests, or other carbon-containing substances are burned, addin more carbon dioxide to the air is the combustion.

Some examples of combustion are:

Fossil fuel:

Carbon + O2

C + O2 -> CO2

Forests (wood)

Wood = cellulose = [C6H10O5]n

[C6H10O5]n + 6nO2 = 6n CO2 + 5n H2O

So, in general the combustion of organic matter produces CO2 and water.

During a laboratory experiment, you discover that an enzyme-catalyzed reaction has a ∆G of -20 kcal/mol. If you double the amoun
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

dG will be the same -20 kcal/mol

Explanation:

The dG can be expressed in terms of the G(products) - G(reactants). If the amount of enzyme is doubled the Gibbs energy of the reactants and products will be the same, so the substraction dG has the same value
