**Chemical Kinetics and Equilibrium Problem Set**

1. **Decay of Isotope Z:**
   - The half-life of isotope Z is 4.0 years. If the reaction is first order, how many years would it take for an 8.00 mg sample of isotope Z to decay and have only 1.00 mg remaining? Answer in years: ____

2. **Equilibrium Constant for Ammonia Formation:**
   - Reaction: \( N_2(g) + 3 \, H_2(g) \rightarrow 2 \, NH_3(g) \)
   - The value of \( K_p \) at 25 degrees Celsius for this reaction is \( 4.5 \times 10^{-12} \).
   - Determine the value of \( K_c \): ____
   - *Note: No units are necessary.*

3. **Universal Gas Constant:**
   - \( R = 0.08206 \, \text{Latm/molK} \)

4. **Equilibrium Constant from Gibbs Free Energy:**
   - For the reaction \( Fe_3O_4(s) + 4 \, CO(g) \rightleftharpoons 3 \, Fe(s) + 4 \, CO_2(g) \)
   - Given \( \Delta G^\circ = -12.3 \, \text{kJ} \) at 298 Kelvin, calculate the \( K_{eq} \). 
   - Answer to the nearest whole number: ____

---

**Note:** This set of problems is designed to explore concepts of chemical kinetics and equilibrium, including the application of first-order decay laws and the interplay between \( \Delta G^\circ \), \( K_p \), and \( K_c \) in chemical reactions.
