If we start with 8000 atoms of radium-226 how much would remain after 3200 years?

<h3>Answer:</h3>

2000 atoms

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the following;

Initial number of atoms of radium-226 as 8000 atoms

Time taken for the decay 3200 years

We are required to determine the number of atoms that will remain after 3200 years.

We need to know the half life of Radium

  • Half life is the time taken by a radio active material to decay by half of its initial amount.
  • Half life of Radium-226 is 1600 years
  • Therefore, using the formula;

Remaining amount = Original amount × 0.5^n

where n is the number of half lives

n = 3200 years ÷ 1600 years

 = 2

Therefore;

Remaining amount = 8000 atoms × 0.5^2

                                = 8000 × 0.25

                                 = 2000 atoms

Thus, the number of radium-226 that will remain after 3200 years is 2000 atoms.

Practice Problem: True Stress and Strain A cylindrical specimen of a metal alloy 49.7 mm long and 9.72 mm in diameter is stresse
amm1812

Answer:

The true stress required = 379 MPa

Explanation:

True Stress is the ratio of the internal resistive force to the instantaneous cross-sectional area of the specimen. True Strain is the natural log to the extended length after which load applied to the original length. The cold working stress – strain curve relation is as follows,

σ(t) = K (ε(t))ⁿ, σ(t) is the true stress, ε(t) is the true strain, K is the strength coefficient and n is the strain hardening exponent

True strain is given  by

Epsilon t =㏑ (l/l₀)

Substitute㏑(l/l₀) for ε(t)

σ(t) = K(㏑(l/l₀))ⁿ

Given values l₀ = 49.7mm, l =51.7mm , n =0.2 , σ(t) =379Mpa

379 x 10⁶ = K (㏑(51.7/49.7))^0.2

K = 379 x 10⁶/(㏑(51.7/49.7))^0.2

K = 723.48 MPa

Knowing the constant value would be same as the same material is being used in the second test, we can find out the true stress using the above formula replacing the value of the constant.

σ(t) = K(㏑(l/l₀))ⁿ

l₀ = 49.7mm, l = 51.7mm, n = 0.2, K = 723.48Mpa

σ(t) = 723.48 x 106 x (㏑(51.7/49.7))^0.2

σ(t) = 379 MPa

The true stress necessary to plastically elongate the specimen is 379 MPa.

The molecular weight of a gas is ________ g/mol if 3.5 g of the gas occupies 2.1 l at stp
bija089 [108]
<span>Pre-1982 definition of STP: 37 g/mol Post-1982 definition of STP: 38 g/mol This problem is somewhat ambiguous because the definition of STP changed in 1982. Prior to 1982, the definition was 273.15 K at a pressure of 1 atmosphere (101325 Pascals). Since 1982, the definition is 273.15 K at a pressure of exactly 100000 Pascals). Because of those 2 different definitions, the volume of 1 mole of gas is either 22.414 Liters (pre 1982 definition), or 22.71098 liters (post 1982 definition). And finally, there's entirely too many text books out there that still use the 35 year obsolete definition. So let's solve this problem using both definitions and you need to pick the correct answer for the text book you're using. First, determine how many moles of gas you have. Just simply divide the volume you have by the molar volume. Pre-1982: 2.1 / 22.414 = 0.093691443 moles Post-1982: 2.1 / 22.71098 = 0.092466287 moles Now determine the molar mass. Simply divide the mass by the moles. So Pre-1982: 3.5 g / 0.093691443 moles = 37.35666667 g/mol Post-1982: 3.5 g / 0.092466287 moles = 37.85163333 g/mol Finally, round to 2 significant figures. So Pre-1982: 37 g/mol Post-1982: 38 g/mol</span>
