464 g radioisotope was present when the sample was put in storage
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Given
Sample waste of Co-60 = 14.5 g
26.5 years in storage
Required
Initial sample
Solution
General formulas used in decay:
t = duration of decay
t 1/2 = half-life
N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms
Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time
Half-life of Co-60 = 5.3 years
Input the value :
Answer:
The correct option is C
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The reaction is
Generally
Here is the change in enthalpy
is the change in the internal energy
is the difference between that number of moles of product and the number of moles of reactant
Looking at the reaction we can discover that the elements that was consumed and the element that was formed is and
and this are both gases so the change would occur in the number of moles
So
The negative sign in the equation tell us that the enthalpy would be less than the Internal energy
