If an 900.0 g sample of radium-226 decays to 225.0 g of radium-226 remaining in 3,200 years, what is the half-life of radium-226? (3 points)

1600 yr

Explanation:

The half-life of radium-226 is the time it takes for half of it to decay.  

After one half-life, half of the original amount will remain.  

After a second half-life, half of that amount will remain, and so on.  

We can construct a table as follows:  

We see that the mass will drop to 225.0 g after two half-lives.

The mass dropped to 225.0 g in 3200 yr.  

If 3200 yr = 2 half lives,

1 half-life = 1600 yr

The decay curve for your sample is shown below. The mass has dropped to half its original value (450 g) after 1600 yr and to one -fourth  (225.0 g) after 3200 yr.

Ireally don’t know this

Answer is: hydrogen is being oxidized.chemical reaction: co₂ + h₂ → co + h₂o.oxidation half reaction: h₂ → 2h⁺ + 2e⁻.reduction half reaction: c⁺⁴ + 2e⁻ → c⁺².oxidation is increase of oxidation number, hydrogen change oxidation number from neutral charge (in molecule of hydrogen) to oxidation number +1 (in water).
