Chromium-51 is a radioisotope that is used to assess the lifetime of red blood cells The half-life of chromium-51 is 27.7 days.

Answer:

After 47.9 days, will remain 14.5mg of the isotope

Explanation:

The radioactive decay follows always first-order kinetics where its general law is:  

Ln[A] = -Kt + ln[A]₀

<em>Where [A] is actual concentration of the atom, k is rate constant, t is time and [A]₀ is initial concentration. </em>

We can find rate constant from half-life as follows:

t_{1/2} = \frac{ln2}{K}

K = ln 2 / 27.7 days

K = 0.025 days⁻¹

Replacing, initial amount of isotope is 48.0mg = [A]₀ , K is 0.025 days⁻¹ and t = 47.9 days:

Ln[A] = -Kt + ln[A]₀

Ln[A] = -0.025 days⁻¹*47.9 days + ln (48.0mg)

ln [A] = 2.6726

[A] = e^ (2.6726)

[A] = 14.5mg

<h3>After 47.9 days, will remain 14.5mg of the isotope</h3>

Methane can be decomposed into two simpler substances: hydrogen and carbon. Therefore, methane 1. is a gas. 2. cannot be an elem
Reika [66]

Answer: 2. cannot be an element.

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper Cu

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: methane CH_4

CH_4\rightarrow C+2H_2

Thus as it can be decomposed into its constituent elements, it is a compound.

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present.

Thus methane cannot be an element.

Which of these properties is the best one to use for identification of an element? 1.the number of neutrons in the atomic nucleu
Verdich [7]

The right answer is 2.

The number of protons contained in a nucleus (called an atomic number) is characteristic of a chemical element. For a given atomic number, the number of neutrons defines different "types" of this element: isotopes. The variation of the number of protons of the nucleus of an atom, during a nuclear reaction for example, causes a change of the element studied.

A researcher wants to determine if a unicellular organism he discovered is an autotroph or a heterotroph. He radioactively label
GaryK [48]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Autotrophs utilize the energy from  sunlight to reduce carbon dioxide to carbohydrates (glucose). The energy from the sunlight is used to split water into H+ and O2- and the H+ used in the reduction process. The labeled carbon in the carbon dioxide will, therefore, be incorporated by the autotrophs in the carbohydrates made in photosynthesis.
