What is the half life of a radioisotope if you started with 1 gram and 0.250 grams is left over after 6 days?

Chemistry

jolli1 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

3 DAYS

Explanation:

Half-life is the time required for a quantity of a radioisotope to reduce to half its initial value. It is represented as t1/2

In the question given,

t1/2 = 3 days

Since 1 gram of the radioisotope divides to half and give 0.5 grams = t1/2

Subsequently division yields;

1gram = 0.5 gram in 3 days

0.5 gram = 0.250 grams = 3 days

This is so because after 6 days, 0.250 gram of the radioisotope is remaining.

In which of these situations is convection most likely the main form of heat transfer?
lorasvet [3.4K]
In the first situation: the mechanism of covection is the main form of heat transfer when warm air from a heater moves around and upward.

In the case of the metal pan the mechanism of heat transfer is conduction.

In the case of sunburn the mechanism is radiation.

In the case of an ice cube melting in a hand, conduction is the most important mechanism.

A package contains 1.33 lb of ground round. If it contains 29% fat, how many grams of fat are in the ground round? The book is s
Effectus [21]

Answer:

To obtain the grams of fat that the ground round has, knowing that it weighs 1.33 pounds we must pass this value to grams. Since 1 pound equals 453.59 grams, 1.33 pounds equals 603.27 (453.59 x 1.33).

Now, to obtain 29 percent of 603.27, we must make the following calculation: 603.27 / 100 x 29, which gives a total of 174.94 grams.

In this way, your reasoning is correct and it is probably a mistake in the book.
