Answer: A
Explanation:
Hypothesis have to be based on previous knowledge and have to be able to be tested but the problem is most hypothesis can’t be explained so it’s impossible to prove a hypothesis correct because science uses inductive reasoning
The mass of plutonium that will remain after 1000 years if the initial amount is 5 g when the half life of plutonium-239 (239pu, pu-239) is 24,100 years is 2.5 g
The equation is Mr=Mi(1/2)^n
where n is the number of half-lives
Mr is the mass remaining after n half lives
Mi is the initial mass of the sample
To find n, the number of half-lives, divide the total time 1000 by the time of the half-life(24,100)
n=1000/24100=0.0414
So Mr=5x(1/2)^1=2.5 g
The mass remaining is 2.5 g
- The half life is the time in which the concentration of a substance decreases to half of the initial value.

Answer:
Mg
Explanation:
Mg + Cu2+ — Mg2+ + Cu
Magnesium is oxidized because its oxidation state increased from 0 to +2 while Cu is reduced because its oxidation state decreased from +2 to 0.
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
<em>Consider the following reactions.
</em>
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.
CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂
the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.
Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄ → Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O
The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O
The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
Oxidizing agents:
Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.
Reducing agents:
Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.
