After 1 min, three radioactive nuclei remain from an original sample of six. Is it valid to conclude that t₁/₂ equals 1 min? Is

this conclusion valid if the original sample contained 6X10¹² nuclei and 3X10¹²remain after 1 min? Explain.

Three of them may have decayed more quickly or more slowly than they should have according to the likelihood at that particular moment. However, suppose we have a lot of radioactive new Clyde's, say six times 10 to the 12, and we have three times 10 to the 12 in a minute. The rate may then be averaged out because there are a sufficient number of radioactive new Clyde's. Furthermore, we can say with confidence that the half life is one minute.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

Radioactivity, as its name suggests, is the act of generating radiation without any external cause. An atomic nucleus that is unstable for whatever reason does this by "wanting" to give up some energy in order to change its configuration to one that is more stable. Modern physics spent a lot of time in the first half of the 20th century figuring out why this occurs, which led to a pretty solid understanding of nuclear decay by 1960. A nucleus with too many neutrons will produce a negative beta particle, which will convert one of the neutrons into a proton. A nucleus with too many protons will emit positrons, which are positively charged electrons that turn protons into neutrons.

If you need to extract a 50 ml aqueous solution with 50 ml of dichloromethane, what is the minimum size of a separatory funnel y
tatuchka [14]

The dichloromethane (DCM) has less density than water and also the polarity of water is much more than DCM. So the mixture of water and dichloromethane will always be a heterogeneous mixture. In the mixture dichloromethane will be always up of the water layer. The volume of the separatory funnel which contains the mixture of DCM and water must have to be more than the total volume of the liquids thus the volume of the funnel will be more than (50+50) = 100mL.

The caution have to consider during the separation are-

1. The separatory funnel have to shake well with lid and have to settle down for some times until the two liquid separated.

2. The lid should be open very slowly as the vapor pressure of DCM is more and it will float on the water.

3. After this the stopcock should be opened and slowly the water will come out first followed by DCM.

If 100 mL of a 12 M solution of HCl is diluted to a final volume of 500 mL, what would be the final concentration of the diluted
AURORKA [14]
Dilution formula:
mv = MV

where one side is concentration × volume BEFORE dilution and the other side is concentration × volume AFTER dilution. 

(100mL) × (12 M) = (500mL) × (X)
(1200 M·mL) = (500mL) × (X)
(1200 M·mL) / (500mL) = X
2.4 M = X

a sample of carbon dioxide contains 3.8 moles of oxygen atoms, how many moles of carbon dioxide are in the sample?
dedylja [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.9 moles

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a compound that is made up of carbon and oxygen elements.

It contains 2 moles of oxygen atoms and 1 mole of carbon atoms

Therefore;

We would say, 1 mole of CO₂ → 2 moles of Oxygen atoms + 1 mole of carbon atoms

Thus;

If a sample of CO₂ contains 3.8 moles of oxygen atoms we could use mole ratio to determine the moles of CO₂

Mole ratio of CO₂ to Oxygen is 1 : 2

Therefore;

Moles of CO₂ = 3.8 moles ÷ 2

                      = 1.9 moles

Hence, the moles of CO₂ present in a sample that would produce 3.8 moles of Oxygen atoms is 1.9 moles
