The answer is 1/16.
Half-life is the time required for the amount of a sample to half its value.
To calculate this, we will use the following formulas:
1.

,
where:
<span>n - a number of half-lives
</span>x - a remained fraction of a sample
2.

where:
<span>

- half-life
</span>t - <span>total time elapsed
</span><span>n - a number of half-lives
</span>
So, we know:
t = 10 min
<span>

= 2.5 min
We need:
n = ?
x = ?
</span>
We could first use the second equation to calculate n:
<span>If:

,
</span>Then:

⇒

⇒

<span>
</span>
Now we can use the first equation to calculate the remained fraction of the sample.
<span>

</span>⇒

<span>⇒

The most abundant of all of the isotopes of an element will be the one who's mass the mass of element is closest to. In this case, the mass of atomic carbon is closest to the mass of carbon-12.
Thus, Carbon-12 is the most abundant isotope.
Answer : The most likely happens during this reaction is, Oxidation-reduction
Explanation :
The balanced reaction will be,

In this reaction, neutral iron loses 3 electrons and oxidizes in (+3) state,
and neutral oxygen gains 2 electrons and reduces in (-2) state,
When iron react with oxygen gas to give iron oxide. This process is known as iron rusting. During the reaction, oxidation-reduction process occurs.
Oxidation : It is a type of chemical reaction in which a substance loses its electrons. Or we can say that in oxidation, the oxidation number increases.
Reduction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which a substance gains its electrons. Or we can say that in reduction, the oxidation number decreases.
Why does the chemical reaction seen here obey the law of conservation of matter?
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
- Because there are the same number of atoms of each element shown on both sides
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
- As in chemical reactions, atoms bonds are break and new bonds are formed. As new substance are formed but overall they have same elements, no new elements come from outside or go to outside. In other words , rearrangement of atoms take place but number of atoms remained same.
NaOH + HCl -----> NaCl + H2O
- As in above reaction there are the same number of atoms of each element shown on both sides .
