If you have 200 grams of a radioactive sample, how many grams would be left after three half-lives?

1 answer:

3 0

Well, after 1 half life, depending on whatever the amount is, 50% of the original content and or remaining content will undergo decay, as it is unstable.

Original content - 200g

1 half life - 100 g
2 half life - 50 g
3 half life - 25 g

The correct solution would be D. 25 g.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Ether

SN1 mechanism

Explanation:

The nucleophile in this reaction is CH3OH. It is a poor nucleopile. We already know that a poor nucleophile reacting with a tertiary alkyl halide often leads to the substitution product as the major product.

Also, the iodide ion is a good leaving group. This makes the SN1 substitution more likely yielding the ether as the major product as shown in the image attached.

Explain why elements with less protons require fewer neutrons to be stable compared to elements with more protons.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The reason for this is because of the repulsive force between protons: The stronger the repulsion force, the more neutrons are needed to stabilize the nuclei.
