Atomic mass of Uranium is 238.

Hence, 1 mole = 238 g of Uranium will have 6.022×10^23 of Uranium nuclei.

∴, 60 X 10^-6 g of Uranium will have \frac{6.022X10^2^3X60X10^-^6}{238} = 1.518 X 10^17 nuclei of Uranium.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

to separate the compounds by gravity

Explanation:

Centrifuging is the process of separating compound in a liquid mixture by means of gravity and settling. This makes use of the density principle. In the process, the sample is added to the centrifuge. This is then rotated at a certain speed, say 50 rpm. The circular motion creates a force of gravity that pulls the compounds downwards. This then separate the compounds. The heaviest and most dense go down first, then the lighter particles on the top.

How are half life and radioactive decay related
hoa [83]

Answer : Half life and radioactive decay are inversely proportional to each other.

Explanation :

The mathematic relationship between the half-life and radioactive decay :

N=N_oe^{-\lambda t}              ................(1)

where,

N = number of radioactive atoms at time, t

N_o = number of radioactive atoms at the beginning when time is zero

e = Euler's constant = 2.17828

t = time

\lambda = decay rate

when t=t_{1/2} then the number of radioactive decay become half of the initial decay atom i.e N=\frac{N_o}{2}.

Now substituting these conditions in above equation (1), we get

\frac{N_o}{2}=N_oe^{-\lambda t_{1/2}}

By rearranging the terms, we get

\frac{1}{2}=e^{-\lambda t_{1/2}}

Now taking natural log on both side,

ln(\frac{1}{2})=-\lambda \times t_{1/2}

By rearranging the terms, we get

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

This is the relationship between the half-life and radioactive decay.

Hence, from this we conclude that the Half life and radioactive decay are inversely proportional to each other. That means faster the decay, shorter the half-life.
