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
4 0

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.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

The mole balance for a constant-volume batch reactor is given such as, For a first-order isothermal reaction, the time to reach a given conversion is the same for constant-pressure and constant-volume reactors. Also, the time is the same for a reaction of any order if there is no change in the number of moles.

Please kindly check attachment for the step by step solution of the given problem.

if the spin of one electron in an orbital is clockwise , what is the spin of the other electron in that orbital
nata0808 [166]

Here we have to get the spin of the other electron present in a orbital which already have an electron which has clockwise spin.

The electron will have anti-clockwise notation.

We know from the Pauli exclusion principle, no two electrons in an atom can have all the four quantum numbers i.e. principal quantum number (n), azimuthal quantum number (l), magnetic quantum number (m) and spin quantum number (s) same. The importance of the principle also restrict the possible number of electrons may be present in a particular orbital.

Let assume for an 1s orbital the possible values of four quantum numbers are n = 1, l = 0, m = 0 and s = \frac{+}{-}\frac{1}{2}.

The exclusion principle at once tells us that there may be only two unique sets of these quantum numbers:

1, 0, 0, +\frac{1}{2} and 1, 0, 0, -\frac{1}{2}.

Thus if one electron in an orbital has clockwise spin the other electron will must be have anti-clockwise spin.

Based on the activity series, which one of the reactions below will occur (Spontaneous)? A. Mn (s) + NiCl2 (aq) → MnCl2 (aq) + N
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Mn (s) + NiCl2 (aq) → MnCl2 (aq) + Ni

Explanation:

The order of displacement of metals from aqueous solution by another metal is defined by the activity series of metals.

The activity series arranges metals in order of reactivity and increasing electrode potentials. The less negative the electrode potential of a metal is, the less reactive it is and the lower it is found in the activity series.

Nickel has a less negative electrode potential than manganese hence it is displaced from an aqueous solution of its salt by manganese spontaneously.

What is meant when one says that acetic acid is a stronger acid than benzoic acid?
kozerog [31]

Its the other way around actually. Benzoic acid is stronger than acetic acid because the electron-donating inductive effect (+I) by the alkyl group on acetic acid destabilise the conjugate base of acetic acid.

hope this helps :)
