Thorium-234 has a half-life of 24.1 days. How many grams of a 150 g sample would you have after 120.5 days?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

8.625 grams of a 150 g sample of Thorium-234  would be left after 120.5 days

Explanation:

The nuclear half life represents the time taken for the initial amount of sample  to reduce into half of its mass.

We have given that the half life of thorium-234 is 24.1 days. Then it takes 24.1 days for a Thorium-234 sample to reduced to half of its initial amount.

Initial amount of Thorium-234 available as per the question is 150 grams

So now  we start with 150 grams  of Thorium-234

150 \times \frac{1}{2}=24.1

75 \times \frac{1}{2} =48.2

34.5 \times \frac{1}{2} =72.3

17.25 \times \frac{1}{2} =96.4

8.625\times \frac{1}{2} =120.5

So after 120.5 days the amount of sample that remains is 8.625g

In simpler way , we can use the below formula to find the sample left

A=A_{0} \cdot \frac{1}{2^{n}}

Where

A_0  is the initial sample amount  

n = the number of half-lives that pass in a given period of time.

Which of the following equations of CH4 + Cl2
mylen [45]

Balanced equation : C. CH₄ + 4Cl₂⇒  CCl₄+ 4HCl

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:  

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.  

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product  

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1  

Reaction

CH₄ + Cl₂⇒  CCl₄+ HCl

  • Give coefficient :

aCH₄ + bCl₂⇒  CCl₄+ cHCl

  • Make equation :

C, left=a, right=1⇒a=1

H, left=4a, right=c⇒4a=c⇒4.1=c⇒c=4

Cl, left=2b, right=4+c⇒2b=4+c⇒2b=4+4⇒2b=8⇒b=4

The equation becomes :

CH₄ + 4Cl₂⇒  CCl₄+ 4HCl
