What does the half-life of a radioisotope represent?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tanya [424]3 years ago
3 0
The rate at which a radioactive isotope decays is measured in half-life. The term half-life is defined as the time it takes for one-half of the atoms of a radioactive material to disintegrate. Half-lives for various radioisotopes can range from a few microseconds to billions of years.

What is the minimum pressure in kPa that must be applied at 25 °C to obtain pure water by reverse osmosis from water that is 0.1
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The minimum pressure should be 901.79 kPa

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Temperature = 25°C

Molarity of sodium chloride = 0.163 M

Molarity of magnesium sulfate = 0.019 M

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate osmotic pressure

The formula for the osmotic pressure =

Π=MRT.

⇒ with M = the total molarity of all of the particles in the solution.

 ⇒ R = gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ T = the temperature = 25 °C = 298 K

NaCl→ Na+ + Cl-

MgSO4 → Mg^2+ + SO4^2-

M = 2(0.163) + 2(0.019 M)

M = 0.364 M

Π = (0.364 M)(0.08206 atm-L/mol-K)(25 + 273 K)

Π = 8.90 atm

(8.90 atm)(101.325 kPa/atm) = 901.79 kPa

The minimum pressure should be 901.79 kPa

A bottle contains 2.5 moles of KOH dissolved in water, and the molarity of the solution is 0.16 M.
alexdok [17]

Answer:

V = 15.6 L

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of molarity in terms of the moles of solute divided by the volume of the solution, it is possible for us to write:

M=n/V

Thus, given the moles and concentration of the solution, we can find the volume as shown below:

V=n/M

Therefore, we plug in the given data to obtain:

V = 2.5mol /(0.16mol/L)

V = 15.6 L

Best regards!

An object that is 0.5 m above the ground has the same amount of potential energy as a spring that is stretched 0.5 m. Each dista
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer: The correct answer is The aplastic potential energy of the spring will be two times greater than the gravitational potential energy of the object.

Explanation: The formula for Gravitational potential energy is= mgh where

m= mass

g= 9.8

h= height

On the other hand the formula for elastic potential energy is (1/2)KX^2

Where K is the spring. By changing the values of H and X, we will see elastic potential energy will remain more.

the mass number of a chromium Atom is 52 and it has 24 protons. How many neutrons does this atom have?
omeli [17]

Chromium has a total of 28 neutrons. This is found because we subtract the number of protons (the atomic number) from the mass number. 52 minus 24 gives us 28. It also has 24 electrons.
