The time taken for the radioactive sample to decay is 1.8 s.

<h3>What is the half life?</h3>

The half life is the time taken for only half of the number of the radioactive isotopes to remain. Now we have;

No = 65.6 micrograms

N = 8.20 micrograms

t1/2 = 0.600 seconds

t = ?

Hence;

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

8.20/ 65.6  = (1/2)^t/0.600

0.125 =  (1/2)^t/0.600

1/8 =  (1/2)^t/0.600

(1/2)^3 =  (1/2)^t/0.600

3 = t/0.600

t = 3 * 0.600

t = 1.8 s

It will take less 1.8 seconds for the mass of a sample of magnesium-20 to decay from 65.6 micrograms to 8.20 micrograms.

<h3>What is Half-Life of radioactive a radioactive substance?</h3>

The half-life of a radioactive element is the time for half the amount of a sample of the substance to decay.

After 0.6 seconds 31.25 remains

After 1.2 seconds, 15.625 remains

After 1.8 seconds, 7.9 micrograms remains.

In conclusion, it will take less 1.8 seconds for the sample to decay to 8.20 micrograms.

Two isotopes of hydrogen fuse to form a neutron plus the larger element,A) beryllium.B) carbon.C) deuterium.D) helium.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:  D) helium.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{56}^{143}Ba+_{36}^{90}Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Example: _1^2\textrm{H}+_1^3\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_0^1\textrm{n}+\text{energy}

Thus when deuterium and tritium , the two isotopes of hydrogen are fused, a heavier nuclei helium is being formed from two smaller nuclei releasing a neutron.

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous copper(II) sulfate is added to excess 6-molar ammonia?a
Karolina [17]

Answer:

c. 2NH₃ + 2H₂O  + Cu²⁺ → Cu(OH)₂(s) + 2NH₄⁺

Explanation:

A net ionic equation is a chemical equation that list only the species that are involved in the reaction.

The reaction of ammonia with copper(II) sulfate CuSO₄ in water is:

2NH₃ + 2H₂O  + CuSO₄ → Cu(OH)₂(s) + 2NH₄⁺ + SO₄²⁻

In an ionic equation, salts are written as ions, that means CuSO₄ must be written as Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻. That is:

2NH₃ + 2H₂O  + Cu²⁺ +<u> SO₄²⁻</u> → Cu(OH)₂(s) + 2NH₄⁺ + <u>SO₄²⁻</u>

As in a net ionic equation you must list only the species involved in the reaction (The underlined species don't react), the net ionic equation is:

<em>c</em>. <em>2NH₃ + 2H₂O  + Cu²⁺ → Cu(OH)₂(s) + 2NH₄⁺</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
