You start out with 800 moles of a radioactive substance. After 24 hours, 100 moles remain. What is the half-life of the substanc

Nookie1986 [14]

The half life of the substance is 8 hours , Option D is the correct answer.

What is Half Life ?

Half-life is the time required by an unstable element to reduce to half of its initial value.

The term is commonly used in nuclear physics.

The formula is

$\rm N(t) = \; N_{0} \;(\dfrac{1}{2} )^{\frac{t}{t_{1/2} } }$

N(t) = quantity of the substance remaining

N ₀ = initial quantity of the substance

t = time elapsed

$\rm t_{1/2}$ = half life of the substance

The data given in the question is N ₀ = 800 moles , N(t)= 100 , t= 24 hours

$\rm t_{1/2} =\; ?$

Substituting values in the equation

$\rm 100 = \; 800 \;(\dfrac{1}{2} )^{\frac{24}{t_{1/2} } }$

$\rm \dfrac{100}{800} = \;(\dfrac{1}{2} )^{\frac{24}{t_{1/2} } }\\\\\rm \dfrac{1}{8} = \;(\dfrac{1}{2} )^{\frac{24}{t_{1/2} } }\\\\\rm (\dfrac{1}{2})^{3} = \;(\dfrac{1}{2} )^{\frac{24}{t_{1/2} } }\\\\\rm 3=\dfrac{24}{t_{1/2} }\\\\t_{1/2}= \dfrac{24}{3}\\\\t_{1/2} = 8 hours$

Therefore half life of the substance is 8 hours , Option D is the correct answer.

Mkey [24]

That's kind of a ponderous way to describe it, but your 'X' represents
the absolute temperature of the ideal gas.
