The atomic mass of an element is the sum of the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Because electron mass is virtualy none it contributes to very little of an element's mass.

Thus the atomic mass is the sum of the number of electrons and protons. 

Therefore the number of neutrons can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass

The half-life of plutonium-239 is 24300. If a nuclear bomb released 8kg of this isotope, how many years would pass before the am
Aneli [31]

Answer:

= 72900 years

Explanation:

  • The half-life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half the original amount.
  • The half-life of plutonium-239 is 24300 years which means it takes 24300 years to decay by half the original amount.

To calculate the time taken for a mass of 8 kg to decay to 1 kg we use;

New mass = Original mass x (1/2) ^n, where n is the number of half-lives

Therefore;

1 kg = 8 kg × (1/2)^n

1/8 = (1/2)^n

solving for n;

n =3

Therefore;

Time = 3 × 24300 years

          = 72900 years

It will, therefore, take 72900 years for 8 kg of plutonium-239 to decay to 1 kg.

Magnesium has three common isotopes.
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

percentage abundance of third isotope = 100 - ( 78.900 + 10.009)

= 11.091 %

Atomic mass

24.1687 x .789 + 25.4830 x .10009 + 24.305 x .11091  

19.069 + 2.5506 + 2.69566

= 24.3153 amu
