CH 8 Review: (Why is it here?)
1. What things can you do to initiate or increase the rate of a reaction?
2. What is a catalyst?
3. Draw Lewis structures to illustrate the reaction on page 1 #12.
4. Why does alpha decay result in the loss in mass of 4 units and change in the
identity of the element?
5. How are electrons produced during beta decay?
Reaction Prediction:
Identify the type of reaction, predict the products, balance the equation, and tell if the
reaction will take place or not.

Half-Life Calculations:
1. 64 g of a substance decays for 4 half-lives. How much of the original substance is
left?
2. Plutonium-236 has a half-life of roughly 2 years. 32 g of it decay over a period of
8 years. How much of the original sample is left?
3. Molybdenum-91 has a half-life of 15.49 minutes. After 40 minutes 1 g of it
remains. What was the mass of the original sample?
