What happens to the half-life and mass of reactants broken down during a nuclear decay reaction?

Chemistry

sveta [45]3 years ago

A) The half-life of reactants in a nuclear decay reaction remains constant over time, but the mass of reactants that are consumed decreases

Explanation:

The rate at which elements decays radioactively is directly proportional to the number of atoms present in it. This is a simple first-order kinetics.

The half-life of a radioactive element is the time taken for half of the radioactive nuclei to disintegrates.

The shorter the half life, the larger the decay constant and the faster the decay process. If a radioactive decay is fast, the mass of the reactants will decrease significantly with time thereby producing more of the daughter isotopes.

The reactant in a radioactive decay are the parent isotopes. The products are the daughter isotopes.

What is the approximate time of death if the body temperature was 15.6°C?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

This stiffening process, called Rigor Mortis, has a roughly known time of occurrence and can therefore be used to estimate time of death. In general: If the body feels warm and no rigor is present, death occurred under 3 hours before. If the body feels warm and stiff, death occurred 3-8 hours earlier.

How many moles of silver nitrate (AgNO3) are needed to produce 6.75 moles of copper (ll) nitrate (Cu(NO3)2) upon reacting with e
Alina [70]

Answer:

13.5 moles of AgNO₃

Explanation:

To determine the reaction:

Reactants: AgNO₃ and Cu

Products: Cu(NO₃)₂ and Ag

2 moles of AgNO₃ react to 1 mol of Cu, in order to produce 1 mol of Cu(NO₃)₂ and 2 moles of solid silver.

2AgNO₃ + Cu → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

Our production was 6.75 moles of Cu(NO₃)₂

Let's make the rule of three:

1 mol of Cu(NO₃)₂ is produced by 2 moles of AgNO₃

Then, our 6.75 moles were definetely produced by (6.75 . 2) /1 = 13.5 moles.

If the copper was in excess, then the silver nitrate is the limiting reactant:

2 mol of AgNO₃ can produce 1 mol of Cu(NO₃)₂

Then, 13.75 moles of silver nitrate must produce (13.5 . 1) /2 = 6.75 moles of Cu(NO₃)₂
