Answer:
Explanation:
Isotopes are atoms of elements that have the same atomic number but different mass number hence ISOTOPY. Radioactive Isotopes on the other hand are unstable as they either undergo Alpha decay, beta decay or gamma decay compared to stable isotopes.
Radioactive elements decay at varyinf rates as such the rate of radioactive decay is used in the characterization of radioactive element and mostly expressed in terms of the half life of the radioactive elements.
Half life is the time taken for half of the total atoms of an elements to decay into half of its initial sizes. for example, the half life of radium-226 is 1622 years, it implies that if we have 1000000 radium atoms at the beginning, then at the end of 1622years, 500000 would have disintegrated. These phenomenon can never be experienced by stable isotopes as such they can not be used in carbon dating techniques. reason why uranium-238 is mostly and commonly used in the earth crust to estimate the ages of rocks because it has a half life of 4.5 x 10^9 years.
And also, the radioactive isotopes of most common light element are short, they have very short half life (few days or weeks) and they decay rapidly to vanshing point, as such, they are not found in nature to any reasonable extent.
Answer:
3.91 L
Explanation:
Using the ideal gas law equation as follows:
PV = nRT
Where:
P = pressure (atm)
V = volume (L)
n = number of moles (mol)
R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)
T = temperature (K)
Based on the information given in this question,
P = 5.23 atm
V= ?
n = 0.831 mol
T = 27°C = 27 + 273 = 300K
Using PV = nRT
V = nRT/P
V = (0.831 × 0.0821 × 300) ÷ 5.23
V = 20.47 ÷ 5.23
V = 3.91 L
The basic unit of mass in the metric system is grams
Answer:
71 Ga has a naturally abundance of 36%
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Gallium has 2 naturally occurring isotopes: this means the abundance of the 2 isotopes together is 100 %. The atomic weight of Ga is 69.72 amu. This is the average of all the isotopes.
Since the average mass of 69.72 is closer to the mass of 69 Ga, this means 69 Ga will be more present than 71 Ga
Percentage 69 Ga> Percentage 71 Ga
<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the abundance %
⇒Percentage of 71 Ga = X %
⇒Percentage of 69 Ga = 100 % - X %
The mass balance equation will be:
100*69.72 = x * 71 + (100 - x)*69
6972 = 71x + 6900 -69x
72 = 2x
x = 36 %
71 Ga has a naturally abundance of 36%
69 Ga has a naturally abundance of 64%
