<u>Answer:</u> The initial amount of Uranium-232 present is 11.3 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All the radioactive reactions follows first order kinetics.

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

We are given:

t_{1/2}=68.9yrs

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{0.693}{68.9}=0.0101yr^{-1}

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant = 0.0101yr^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = 206.7 yrs

[A_o] = initial amount of the reactant = ?

[A] = amount left after decay process = 1.40 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0101yr^{-1}=\frac{2.303}{206.7yrs}\log\frac{[A_o]}{1.40}

[A_o]=11.3g

Hence, the initial amount of Uranium-232 present is 11.3 grams.

Should we only write condensed formula in chemical equations (for lessons like carbon and compounds). What did your teachers say
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

  • If your teachers don't ask for a specific type of formula, a condensed structural formula should be OK.
  • If they ask specifically for a structural formula or a bond-line formula, that is what you must give.

Bottom line: ask your teachers in advance what they expect.
