Answer:
It is expressed as a multiple of one-twelfth the mass of the carbon-12 atom, 1.992646547 × 10−23 gram, which is assigned an atomic mass of 12 units. ... In this scale 1 atomic mass unit (amu) corresponds to 1.660539040 × 10−24 gram.
Equation for Half life :
A = a(0.5)^(t/h)
A is current amount, "a" is initial amount, h is halflife, t is time
5 = 40(0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
5/40 = (0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
take the log of both sides , power rule
Log(5/40) = (t/1.3x10^9) * Log(0.5)
(1.3x10^9) * Log(5/40) / Log(0.5) = t
3.9x10^9 years = t
And if you think about what a half life is, the time it take for the amount to reduce to half.
40/2 = 20
20/2 = 10
10/2 = 5
It went through 3 half-lifes
3 * 1.3x10^9 = 3.9x10^9 years
Answer:
CO(g) + H2(g) + H2O(g) ==> CO2(g) + 2H2(g)
Explanation:
In the industry, hydrogen is prepared from water and hydrocarbons. Water gas being the major method of preparation of hydrogen industrially.
The water-gas reaction is an industrial process in which steam is passed over red-hot coke giving a gaseous mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen:
C + H2O(g) → CO + H2.
The mixture of CO and H2 is Futher passed through steam according to the equation:
CO(g) + H2(g) + H2O(g) ==> CO2(g) + 2H2(g) to give hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
