How much of a radioactive parent isotope will remain after three half-lives have passed?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sedaia [141]3 years ago
4 0
After three half lives have passed, there would be only 12.5 percent of the original amount of a radioactive parent isotope that will remain. Half life is the time needed for a certain amount of a substance to be half its initial amount. It is a common term used in nuclear chemistry describing how fast radioactive substances undergo decay. One half life would correspond to only 50% would be left. Two half lives would be 25% only of the original value. Three half lives would be 12.5%. Four half lives would be 6.25% of the initial value. So on and so forth.

The radioactivity of U-235 is of low intensity. Why then were the people of Hiroshima exposed to high intensity radiation in the
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

What occurred then is as a result of nuclear fission. This occurs as the Uranium-235 split into two smaller nuclei while releasing high energy neutrons. These neutrons bombard existing U-235 in the atmosphere and this reaction continue in a spontaneous manner until a chain reaction is formed of U-235, whose fall out fills the environment. This process was what led to people been exposed to high intensity radiation in the days and months after the atomic bomb was dropped.

Why is it important to control the reaction rate of the chemical process
xxTIMURxx [149]
Mg+2HCl=MgCl_2+H_{2(g)}

The reaction creates dihydrogen, hence if it's uncontrolled it could lead to potentially dangerous amounts of gas being released at once.
