Iodine-131, t1/2 = 8.0 days, is used in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid gland diseases. If a laboratory sample of iodine-

131 initially emits 9.95 × 1018 β particles per day, how long will it take for the activity to drop to 6.22 × 1017 β particles per day?

Answer:

32,0 days.

Explanation:

The radioactive decay follows:

N_{t} = N_{0}e^{\frac{-0.693t}{t_{1/2}}

Where Nt is the concentration in a time t (6,22x10¹⁷), N₀ is the initial concentration (9,95x10¹⁸) Half life time is 8,0 days and t is the time it take to drop this concentration. Replacing:

6.22x10^{17} = 9,95x10^{18}e^{\frac{-0.693t}{8 days}

0,0625 = e^{\frac{-0.693t}{8days}

ln 0,0625 = {\frac{-0.693t}{8days}

-2,77*8days = -0.693t

-22,2days = -0.693t

32,0days = t

It take <em>32,0 days</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

We could reduce soil erosion and recycle phosphorus from farm and human waste so that we could help make food production sustainable and prevent algae blooms. We can also do land reclamation as well to help solve this problem. With the land, we would have to design a system to where the land could be functional again in order to plant crops, trees, also to help the wildlife that was once a part of the island. Therefore if the design is done before the mining then afterward we can do the reclamation of the land which would help the people to be able to function after the mining. It would also help the future generations that come along after the previous generations. Everyone must work together in the process in order for everyone to survive. If all this is done then the people of the island would not have to import their food. The reclamation process is the most important thing that has to be designed first whether it is land, soil, water, lakes, and clay then after plant trees, vegetation, and other forms of plants to help replenish the land after the mining is done.

a steel cylinder is left out in the sun the pressure at 2:00 pm was 1014 kpa at 33.0 c at 7:00 am at a temperature of 21.4c what
e-lub [12.9K]
The easiest way is to use the Law of Gay-Lussac. This law states that there is a direct relation between the temperature in Kelvin of a gas and the pressure.

Then, namig p the pressure and T the temperature in Kelvin and using subscripts for every state:

p/T is constant ==> p_1 / T_1 = p_2/T_2

From which you obtain:

p_2 = [p_1 / T_1] * T_2

T_1 = 33.0 + 273.15 = 306.15 K
T _2 = 21.4 + 273.15 = 294.55 K

p_1 = 1014 kPa

p_2 = 1014 kPa * 294.55 K / 306.15 K = 975.6 kPa
