Answer: a) 3.85 days
b) 10.54 days
Explanation:-
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = time taken for decomposition = 3 days
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
a - x = amount left after decay process = 
First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get


a) Half-life of radon-222:


Thus half-life of radon-222 is 3.85 days.
b) Time taken for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount:
where,
k = rate constant = 
t = time taken for decomposition = ?
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
a - x = amount left after decay process = 


Thus it will take 10.54 days for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount.
Answer:
UV light is more powerful as it has greater energy.
Explanation:
The energy propagated by electromagnetic waves ( light ) through vacuum or medium is known as electromagnetic radiation.
The frequency/wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation is known as electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum ranging from gamma ray to radio waves.
Frequency range of UV light = ( 8 x 10¹⁴ to 3 x 10¹⁶ ) Hz
Frequency range of Microwaves = ( 300 x 10⁶ to 300 x 10⁹ ) Hz
Ratio of UV light to Microwaves = (
to
)
= ( 2.66 x 10⁶ to 1 x 10⁸ )
Energy of electromagnetic radiation is given by the relation:
E = hν
Here h is plank's constant and ν is frequency.
UV light is more powerful than Microwaves as frequency of UV light is greater than frequency of microwaves. Thus, by the above equation, the energy of UV light is more than energy of Microwaves.
Using the given equation you get:
E = 1.99x10^-25 / 9.0x10^-6
Divide 1.99 by 9.0: 1.99/9.0 = 0.22
For the scientific notation, when dividing subtract the two exponents:
25 -6 = 19
So you now have 0.22 x 10^-19
Now you need to change the 0.22 to be in scientific notation form:
2.2 x 10^-20
The answer is B.
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Eli states that sodium phosphate is a mixture because it is composed of both sodium ions and phosphate ions. Which is the best analysis of Eli’s statement? It is correct because each ion is a pure substance, so sodium phosphate is made up of two pure substances. It is correct because the composition of sodium phosphate changes depending on the sample. It is incorrect because sodium phosphate is a compound that has a single composition. It is incorrect because the two types of ions in sodium phosphate cannot be seen.
Answer:
It is incorrect because sodium phosphate is a compound that has a single composition
Explanation:
A compound is a neutral substance made up of two or more atoms which are chemically combined together.
Ionic substances are made up of ions. These ions are not separate entities, they are part of the compound.
Hence, Eli's statement is incorrect because sodium phosphate is a compound that has a single composition.
