The radioactive decay obeys first order kinetics
the rate law expression for radioactive decay is
Where
A0 = initial concentration
At = concentration after time "t"
t = time
k = rate constant
For first order reaction the relation between rate constant and half life is:
Let us calculate k
k = 0.693 / 72 = 0.009625 years⁻¹
Given
At = 0.25 A0
time = 144 years
So after 144 years the sample contains 25% parent isotope and 75% daughter isotopes**
Simply two half lives
At -25 °C, methanol, whose boiling point is 64.7 °C and its melting point is -97.6 °C, is in the liquid state.
The melting point is the temperature at which a substance passes from solid to liquid. Below the melting point, a substance is in the solid state. Above the melting point, a substance is in the liquid or gas state.
The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance passes from liquid to gas. Below the boiling point, a substance is solid or liquid. Above the boiling point, a substance is in the gas state.
At -25 °C, methanol is above the melting point (-97.6 °C) and below the boiling point (64.7 °C). Thus, it is in the liquid state.
At -25 °C, methanol, whose boiling point is 64.7 °C and its melting point is -97.6 °C, is in the liquid state.
