Half-life is defined as the amount of time it takes a given quantity to decrease to half of its initial value. The equation to describe the decay is
Nt=N0(1/2)
where N0 is the initial quantity, Nt is the remaining quantity after time t, t1/2 is the half-time. So work out the equation, t1/2 = t (-ln2)/ln(Nt/N0) = 11.5*(-ln2)/ln(12.5/100) = 3.83 days
there are 4 atoms in aluminum chloride
Answer: Matter cannot be created or destroyed
Explanation: Balanced equations are set equations we cannot change one element or compound in the equation without changing the entire equation. So balanced equation show the conservation of mass because while other substances may be formed from the synthesis or decomposition of compounds new elements are never introduced and are not created out of thin air :)

Explanation:
The shorthand nuclear reaction equations have been given; the first particle in the parentheses is a reactant particle while the second particle is a product particle. These can now be rewritten as the longhand equations as follows;
238/92U + 4/2 He -------> 241/94Pu + 1/0 n
238/92U + 4/2 He ------> 241/94Pu + 1/0 n
14/7N + 4/2 He------> 17/8O + 1/1 p
56/26Fe + 2 4/2 He----> 60/29Cu + 4/2 He
Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals.
