Half life is the time that it takes for half of the original value of some amount of a radioactive element to decay.
We have the following equation representing the half-life decay:
A is the resulting amount after t time
Ao is the initial amount = 50 mg
t= Elapsed time
t half is the half-life of the substance = 14.3 days
We replace the know values into the equation to have an exponential decay function for a 50mg sample
That would be the answer for a)
To know the P-32 remaining after 84 days we have to replace this value in the equation:
So, after 84 days the P-32 remaining will be 0.85 mg
<u>Answer:</u> The percentage abundance of and
isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.
Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:
.....(1)
Let the fractional abundance of isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of
isotope will be '1 - x'
- <u>For
isotope:</u>
Mass of isotope = 35 amu
Fractional abundance of isotope = x
- <u>For
isotope:</u>
Mass of isotope = 37 amu
Fractional abundance of isotope = 1 - x
Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.45 amu
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
Percentage abundance of isotope =
Percentage abundance of isotope =
Hence, the percentage abundance of and
isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.
