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

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.

If the rate of decomposition of ammonia, NH3, at 1150 K is 2.10 x 10-6 mol/L/s, what is the
Alina [70]

Answer:

3.15 × 10⁻⁶ mol H₂/L.s

1.05 × 10⁻⁶ mol N₂/L.s

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 NH₃ ⇒ 3 H₂ + N₂

Step 2: Calculate the rate of production of H₂

The molar ratio of NH₃ to H₂ is 2:3. Given the rate of decomposition of NH₃ is 2.10 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L.s, the rate of production of H₂ is:

2.10 × 10⁻⁶ mol NH₃/L.s × 3 mol H₂/2 mol NH₃ = 3.15 × 10⁻⁶ mol H₂/L.s

Step 3: Calculate the rate of production of N₂

The molar ratio of NH₃ to N₂ is 2:1. Given the rate of decomposition of NH₃ is 2.10 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L.s, the rate of production of N₂ is:

2.10 × 10⁻⁶ mol NH₃/L.s × 1 mol N₂/2 mol NH₃ = 1.05 × 10⁻⁶ mol N₂/L.s

Oxygen-Carbon Dioxide Exchange
leonid [27]

Answer:

Answer is below with the steps in order

Explanation:

4) Blood picks up carbon dioxide from the body

7) Heart pumps carbon dioxide rich blood to the lungs

8) Inhale

9) Nose traps germs in air

10) Air moves down the trachea

3) Air moves through bronchi into the bronchioles

6) Alveoli receive oxygen pass to blood

9) Oxygen passes into the blood

11) Alveoli receives carbon dioxide from the blood

12) Oxygen-rcih blood flows to the heart

3) Carbon Dioxide moves from bonchioles to bronchi

13)Carbon dioxide flows up

1) Heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body

The last <em>four of five</em> steps could be switched up a little bit since it all happens synchronously, but this is the most accurate interpretation.
