Radiation decrease over time due to the concentration of radioactive atoms and the concentration decreases as radioactive particles are emitted (Option D).

<h3>What is radiation?</h3>

Radiation refers to the transmission of energy by means of subatomic particles that travel as waves.

Radioactive isotopes are also known as radioisotopes, which have unstable combinations of subatomic particles (i.e., neutrons or protons) in their atomic nuclei, and thus may emit alpha particles, gamma rays or beta particles.

Radioactive isotopes such as C14 lost (emit) energy per unit of time, which is known as radiation or radioactive decay.

In conclusion, radiation decrease over time due to the concentration of radioactive atoms and the concentration decreases as radioactive particles are emitted (Option D).

3.15.8 cm3 of H2SO4 completely neutralised 20 cm3 of NaOH. The NaOH was 1.5 mol/dm3.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Molarity = 0.95 mol/dm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of H₂SO₄ = 15.8 cm³

Volume of NaOH = 20 cm³

Concentration of NaOH = 1.5 mol/dm³

Concentration of H₂SO₄ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

NaOH + H₂SO₄      →          Na₂SO₄ + H₂O

First of all we will calculate the number of moles of NaOH and for that we will convert the units first,

Volume = 20 cm³/1000 = 0.02 L

Concentration of NaOH = 1.5 mol/dm³

1 mol/dm³ = 1 mol/L

Concentration of NaOH = 1.5 mol/L

Number of moles of NaOH:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in L

1.5 M = number of moles / 0.02 L

Number of moles = 1.5 M ×0.02 L

Number of moles = 0.03 mol

Now we will compare the moles of NaOH and H₂SO₄

                     NaOH           :        H₂SO₄

                         2               :           1

                     0.03             :        1/2×0.03 = 0.015 mol

Concentration of H₂SO₄:

Volume of H₂SO₄:

15.8 cm³/1000 = 0.0158 L

Molarity = number of moles / volume in L

Molarity = 0.015 mol / 0.0158 L

Molarity = 0.95 mol/L

1 mol/L = 1 mol/dm³

Molarity = 0.95 mol/dm³
