The general equation for radioactive decay is;
N = N₀e^(-λt)
x - decay constant (λ) - rate of decay
t- time
N - amount remaining after t days , since we are calculating the half life, amount of time it takes for the substance to to be half its original value, its N₀/2
N₀ - amount initially present
substituting the values
N₀/2 = N₀e^(-0.081t)
0.5 = e^(-0.081t)
ln (0.5) = -0.081t
-0.693 = -0.081t
t = 0.693 / 0.081
= 8.55
half life of substance is 8.55 days
Answer:
Hey there!
Auto-ionization of water is an ionization reaction in pure water or in another aqueous solution, in which a water molecule, H2O, loses the nucleus of one of its hydrogen atoms to become a hydroxide ion, OH−.
Let me know if this helps :)
The reaction will produce 12.1 g Ag₂S.
<em>Balanced equation</em> = 2Ag + S ⟶ Ag₂S
<em>Mass of Ag₂S</em> = 10.5 g Ag × (1 mol Ag/107.87 g Ag) × (1 mol Ag₂S/2 mol Ag)
× (247.80 g Ag₂S/1 mol Ag₂S) = 12.1 g Ag₂S
Answer:
4
Explanation:
Ionization energy can be defined as the energy required for an atom to lose its valence electron to form an ion. Hence, it deals with how easily an atom would lose its electron and form an ion. As the valence electrons are lossless bound to the outermost shell, they can easily be lost without much problem or better still they can be lost easily. Hence, the energy change here is small and thus we can conclude that the ionization energy here is low.
The electron affinity works quite differently from the ionization energy. It deals with the way in which a neutral atom attracts an electron to form an ion. For an electron with loose valence electrons, the sure fact is that it does not really need these electrons. Hence, there is no need for an high electron affinity on its part. Thus, we conclude that the electron affinity is also low
Which sentence from "Black Hole Beginnings" contains a cause-and-effect relationship?
More matter mounts up on the outside, increasing the pressure on the inside.
Instead it is a dramatic melding, or blending, of atoms, called nuclear fusion.
Each atom has its own tiny center, or nucleus.
Surrounding each nucleus is an electrical force field..
