Radioactive phosphorus-32 decays with a half-life of 14.0 days. A chemist obtains a fresh sample of phosphorus-32 and measures i

ts radioactivity. She then determines that to do an experiment, the radioactivity cannot fall below 25% of the initial measured value. How many days does she have to perform the experiment

It will take 28 days to let the radioactivity fall below 25%.

<h3>What is Half Life ?</h3>

Half life can be described as the time required by the radioactive compound to reduce to half of the original value of concentration.

It is given that

Radioactive phosphorus-32 decays with a half-life of 14.0 days

25% of the initial measure at what time =?

For 50% decay the time needed is 14 days

for decay of the next 50%  of the amount left the time taken will be another 14 days

2nd half life = 25% decay of the substance = 28 days

Therefore it will take 28 days to let the radioactivity fall below 25%.

In a physical change, the _____ does not change.
Ksivusya [100]

Physical changes occur when objects or substances undergo a change that does not change their chemical composition. This contrasts with the concept of chemical change in which the composition of a substance changes or one or more substances combine or break up to form new substances.

Use the ideal-gas law to estimate the number of air molecules in your physics lab room, assuming all the air is N2. Assume a roo
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

4.13×10²⁷ molecules of N₂ are in the room

Explanation:

ideal gases Law → P . V = n . R . T

Pressure . volume = moles . Ideal Gases Constant . T° K

T°K = T°C + 273 → 20°C + 273 = 293K

Let's determine the volume of the room:

18 ft . 18 ft . 18ft = 5832 ft³

We convert the ft³ to L → 5832 ft³ . 28.3L / 1 ft³ = 165045.6 L

1 atm .  165045.6 L = n . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 293K

(1 atm .  165045.6 L) / 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 293K = n

6869.4 moles of N₂ are in the room

If we want to find out the number of molecules we multiply the moles by NA

6869.4 mol . 6.02×10²³ = 4.13×10²⁷ molecules
