Half-life is defined as the quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.
Explanation:
The term half-life is generally used in nuclear physics which describes how long a stable atom can survive a radioactive decay or how quickly an unstable stable atom can undergo radioactive decay. Half-life is a constant and does not have any units.
<u>The formula to calculate half-life:
</u>
N(t) = 
Here N(t) is the quantity which is “not decayed”.
is the “initial quantity” of the substance.
λ is the “decay constant”
Answer:
305.65 K
Explanation:
Celsius to Kelvin => + 273.15
32.5 + 273.15
= 305.65 K
Answer:
The heat required to raise the temperature of 12g of water from 16 C to 21 C is 60 cal.
Explanation:
Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.
There is a direct proportional relationship between heat and temperature. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body as on its mass, and is the product of the specific heat by the mass of the body. So, the equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:
Q = c * m * ΔT
where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.
In this case, you know:
- Q=?
- c= 4.186

- m= 12 g
- ΔT=Tfinal - Tinitial= 21 °C - 16°C= 5 °C
Replacing:
Q= 4.186
*12 g *5 °C
Solving:
Q=251.16 J
Since 1 J is equal to 0.2388 cal, then the following rule of three can be applied: if 1 J is equal to 0.2388 cal, then 251.16 J to how many cal are?

cal= 59.98 ≅ 60
