The percent abundance of ₈₁Br = 49.59%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu

So the atomic mass obtained is the mass of the atom relative to the 12th carbon atom

An atomic mass unit = amu is a relative atomic mass of 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

The 'amu' unit has now been replaced with a unit of 'u' only

for example, Carbon has 3 isotopes, namely ₆¹²C, ₆¹³C, and ₆¹⁴C

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.%

Element Bromine has two isotopes, 78.9183 and 80.9163 amu.

The average atomic mass of bromine is 79.9091 amu

For example isotopes 78.9183 = x% and isotopes 80.9163 amu = 100-x%

Mass atom element Br = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.%

79.9091 amu = 78.9183 %x +80.9163. (100-x)%

79.9091 amu = 78.9183 %x + 80.9163 .100% - 80.9163 %x

79.9091 amu = -1.998 %x + 80.9163

-1.0072 amu = -1.998 %x

x\:=\:\frac{-1.0072}{-1.998}

%x = 0.5041

x = 50,41%

So percent abundance of ₈₁Br = 100% - 50.41% = 49.59%

Astatine-210 has a half-life of 8.08 days. What fraction of a sample of astatine-210 is left unchanged after 16.16 days?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Half-life  = 8.08days

Unknown:

What fraction is left unchanged after 16.16days = ?

Solution:

The half - life of a substance is the time taken for the half of a radioactive material to decay to half.

 

  Day 0           Day 8.08         Day 16.16

   100%                 50%                 0%        Parent

    0%                     50%                100%     Daughter

After 16.16 days, non of the original sample will remain unchanged.
