2.83 days into hours = 2.83 x 24 = 67.92 hours
67.92 hours into minute = 67.92 x 60 = 4075.2 minutes
4075.2 minutes into seconds = 4075.2 x 60 = 244,512 seconds.
Cathode Ray experiment to figure out electrons exist -> atoms can be broken up into subatomic particles
There will be a shift towards the reactants
Radioactive decay => C = Co { e ^ (- kt) |
Data:
Co = 2.00 mg
C = 0.25 mg
t = 4 hr 39 min
Time conversion: 4 hr 39 min = 4.65 hr
1) Replace the data in the equation to find k
C = Co { e ^ (-kt) } => C / Co = e ^ (-kt) => -kt = ln { C / Co} => kt = ln {Co / C}
=> k = ln {Co / C} / t = ln {2.00mg / 0.25mg} / 4.65 hr = 0.44719
2) Use C / Co = 1/2 to find the hallf-life
C / Co = e ^ (-kt) => -kt = ln (C / Co)
=> -kt = ln (1/2) => kt = ln(2) => t = ln (2) / k
t = ln(2) / 0.44719 = 1.55 hr.
Answer: 1.55 hr
