Answer:
3 years
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial amount of sample = 160 Kg
Amount left after 12 years = 10 Kg
Half life = ?
Solution:
at time zero = 160 Kg
1st half life = 160/2 = 80 kg
2nd half life = 80/2 = 40 kg
3rd half life = 40 / 2 = 20 kg
4th half life = 20 / 2 = 10 kg
Half life:
HL = elapsed time / half life
12 years / 4 = 3 years
False, Molecules are made of atoms and atoms are made of quarks.
1) since we are given percentages, we can assume we have 100 grams of the molecule.
55.6 % Cu ----> 55.6 grams Cu
16.4 % Fe------> 16.4 grams Fe
28.0% S--------> 28.0 grams S
2) convert each gram to moles using the molar masses given



3) we divide the smallest value of moles (0.293) to each one.
Cu --> 0.876 / 0.293= 3
Fe---> 0.293 / 0.293= 1
S-----> 0.875 / 0.293= 3
4) let's write the empirical formula
Cu₃FeS₃
