From the calculations, the half life of the material is 6.5 days.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

The term radioactivity has to do with the spontaneous disintegration of a specie.

Uisng the formula;

N=Noe^-kt

N= amount at time t = 0.135 Ci or 4.995 ×10^9 Bq

No = amount initially present =  1.75 x 10^12 Bq

k = rate constant = ?

t = time taken = 55 days

Hence;

4.995 ×10^9  = 1.75 x 10^12e^-55k

4.995 ×10^9/1.75 x 10^12 = e^-55k

2.85 * 10^-3 = e^-55k

ln2.85 * 10^-3 = -55k

k = ln2.85 * 10^-3/-55

k = 0.1066 day-1

Half life = 0.693/ 0.1066 day-1

= 6.5 days

What is the major organic product obtained from the following reaction?
trapecia [35]

The correct option is (b)

NaNH2 is an effective base. It can be a good nucleophile in the few situations where its strong basicity does not have negative side effects. It is employed in elimination reactions as well as the deprotonation of weak acids.Alkynes, alcohols, and a variety of other functional groups with acidic protons, such as esters and ketones, will all be deprotonated by NaNH2, a powerful base.Alkynes are deprotonated with NaNH2 to produce what are known as "acetylide" ions. These ions are powerful nucleophiles that can react with alkyl halides to create carbon-carbon bonds and add to carbonyls in an addition reaction.Acid/base and nucleophilic substitution are the two types of reactions.Using the right base, terminal alkynes can be deprotonated to produce a carbanion.A good C is the acetylide carbanion.The acetylide carbanion can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions because it is a potent C nucleophile. (often SN2) with 1 or 2 alkyl halides with electrophilic C to create an internal alkyne (Cl, Br, or I).Elimination is more likely to occur with 3-alkyl halides.It is possible to swap either one or both of the terminal H atoms in ethylene (acetylene) to create monosubstituted (R-C-C-H) and symmetrical (R = R') or unsymmetrical (R not equal to R') disubstituted alkynes (R-C-C-R').

If aluminum is diffused into a thick slice of silicon with no previous aluminum in it at a temperature of 1100˚C for 8 hours, wh
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

8.354 nanometers

Explanation:

To treat a diffusive process in function of time and distance we need to solve  2nd Ficks Law. This a partial differential equation, with certain condition the solution looks like this:

\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=erf(x/2\sqrt{D*t})

Where Cs is the concentration in the surface of the solid

Cx is the concentration at certain deep X

Co is the initial concentration of solute in the solid

and erf is the error function

Then we solve right side,

\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=\frac{1018atoms/cm3-1016atoms/cm3}{1018atoms/cm3}=0.001964

And we need to look up the inverse error function of 0.001964 resulting in: 0.00174055

Then we solve for x:

x=0.00174055*2*\sqrt{D*t} =0.00174055*2*\sqrt{2*10^{-12}cm^{2}/s*8h*3600s/h}=8.35464*10^{-7}cm
