The half-life of polonium-210, given that it decays from 98.3 micrograms to 12.3 micrograms in 414 days is 138 days

<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 98.3 micrograms
  • Amount remaining (N) = 12.3 micrograms
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

2ⁿ = N₀ / N

2ⁿ = 98.3 / 12.3

2ⁿ = 8

2ⁿ = 2³

n = 3

<h3>How to determine the half life </h3>
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 3
  • Time (t) = 414 days
  • Half-life (t½) = ?

t½ = t / n

t½ = 414 / 3

t½ = 138 days

The half life of the polonium-210 is 138 days.

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

The half-life is the time taken for half the sample to decay.

It takes 414 days for 98.3 g of to decay from 98.3 micrograms to 12.3 micrograms.

The fraction of 98.3 that is 12.3 g = 98.3/12.3 = 1/8

The sample has undergone 3 half-lives.

The half-life = 414/3 = 138 days.

In conclusion, it takes 138 days for half the sample to decay.

Answer is:increase [Cl₂] and remove HCl from the product.
Chemical reaction: Cl₂ + CH₂Cl₂ → CHCl₃(chloroform) + HCl.
According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change, the position of equilibrium will move so that the concentration of reactants decrease (Cl₂) and concentration of products of chemical reaction increase (CHCl₃) if increase concentration of reactants and decrease concentration of products.

During photosynthesis, plants take the extra carbon from the air, make it into oxygen and then release the oxygen back into the air for us to breathe. The process of photosynthesis can help reduce global warming by removing the extra carbon in the air which allow the air levels in the atmosphere to be more balanced .

A mixture of methane and carbon dioxide gases contains methane at a partial pressure of 431 mm Hg and carbon dioxide at a
KatRina [158]

Answer:

XCH₄ = 0.461

XCO₂ = 0.539

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Partial pressure of methane (pCH₄): 431 mmHg
  • Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂): 504 mmHg

Step 2: Calculate the total pressure in the container

We will sum both partial pressures.

P = pCH₄ + pCO₂

P = 431 mmHg + 504 mmHg = 935 mmHg

Step 3: Calculate the mole fraction of each gas

We will use the following expression.

Xi = pi / P

XCH₄ = pCH₄/P = 431 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.461

XCO₂ = pCO₂/P = 504 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.539
