Half life - when half of the radioactive substance has become stable

500,000/2 = 250,000 remaining after the first half life

250,000/2 = 125,000 remaining after the second


Or alternatively 1/4 x 500,000 = 125,000

(b) Data has been collected to show that at a given wavelength in a 1 cm pathlength cell, Beer's Law for the absorbance of Co2+
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer : The concentration of a solution with an absorbance of 0.460 is, 0.177 M

Explanation :

Using Beer-Lambert's law :

A=\epsilon \times C\times l

where,

A = absorbance of solution

C = concentration of solution

l = path length

\epsilon = molar absorptivity coefficient

From this we conclude that absorbance of solution is directly proportional to the concentration of solution at constant path length.

Thus, the relation between absorbance and concentration of solution will be:

\frac{A_1}{A_2}=\frac{C_1}{C_2}

Given:

A_1 = 0.350

A_2 = 0.460

C_1 = 0.135 M

C_2 = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\frac{0.350}{0.460}=\frac{0.135}{C_2}

C_1=0.177M

Therefore, the concentration of a solution with an absorbance of 0.460 is, 0.177 M
