Answer: 2.58 days
Explanation:
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = age of sample = 6 days
a = initial amount of the reactant = 1 g
a - x = amount left after decay process
= 0.2 g
a) to find the rate constant
b) for completion of half life:
Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.
The half life is 2.58 days
Answer:
Gallium-72
Explanation:
The elements are identified by the number of protons of the atom, which is its atomic number.
In this case the number of protons 39 (atomic number 39) permit you to identify the element as gallium.
Now, to identify the isotope you tell the name of the element and add the mass number.
The mass number is the sum of the protons and the neutrons
In this case, the number of neutrons is the original 39 plus the 2 added suddenly, i.e. 39 + 2 = 41, so the mass number is 31 + 41 = 72
Therefore, the isotope is gallium - 72.
Answer:
a) 1.866 × 10 ⁻¹⁹ J b) 3.685 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
Explanation:
the constants involved are
h ( Planck constant) = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ m² kg/s
Me of electron = 9.109 × 10 ⁻³¹ kg
speed of light = 3.0 × 10 ⁸ m/s
a) the Ek ( kinetic energy of the dislodged electron) = 0.5 mu²
Ek = 0.5 × 9.109 × 10⁻³¹ × ( 6.40 × 10⁵ )² = 1.866 × 10 ⁻¹⁹ J
b) Φ ( minimum energy needed to dislodge the electron ) can be calculated by this formula
hv = Φ + Ek
where Ek = 1.866 × 10 ⁻¹⁹ J
v ( threshold frequency ) = c / λ where c is the speed of light and λ is the wavelength of light = 358.1 nm = 3.581 × 10⁻⁷ m
v = ( 3.0 × 10 ⁸ m/s ) / (3.581 × 10⁻⁷ m ) = 8.378 × 10¹⁴ s⁻¹
hv = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ m² kg/s × 8.378 × 10¹⁴ s⁻¹ = 5.551 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
5.551 × 10⁻¹⁹ J = 1.866 × 10 ⁻¹⁹ J + Φ
Φ = 5.551 × 10⁻¹⁹ J - 1.866 × 10 ⁻¹⁹ J = 3.685 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
Answer:
True
Explanation:
A proton has a charge of +1, while an electron has a charge of -1. This is why a neutral atom has the same number of protons as electrons.
Neutrons have no charge, hence their name neutron which is similar to neutral.
