How many half lives have passed if a sample contains one sixteenth of its original amount of radioactive material

What stress will shift the following equilibrium system to the left? n2(g) + 3h2(g) ⇌ 2nh3(g) adding more n2(g) adding more nh3(g) increasing the pressure of the system reducing the volume of the container

The content of manganese (mn) in steel was determined spectrophotometrically and with the use of the standard addition method. an unknown sample of mn from a digested steel sample gave an absorbance of 0.185 when analyzed spectrophotometrically. when 5.00 ml of solution containing 95.5 ppm mn was added to 50.0 ml of the unknown steel solution (digested sample), the absorbance was 0.248. calculate the concentration, in parts-per-million (ppm), of mn in the digested steel sample solution.

Alidded glass container is filled with a colored gas. after a period of time, it is observed that the gas is uniformly spread throughout the box and that the movement has slowed considerably. next, a warm iron plate is carefully placed under the box. why is there resumed movement of the gas in the container?
