How much of a sample remains after five half-lives have occurred?

Chemistry
1 answer:
timama [110]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1/32 of the original sample

Explanation:

We have to use the formula

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

N= amount of radioactive sample left after n number of half lives

No= original amount of radioactive sample present

t= time taken for the amount of radioactive samples to reduce to N

t1/2= half-life of the radioactive sample

We have been told that t= five half lives. This implies that t= 5(t1/2)

N/No = (1/2)^5(t1/2)/t1/2

Note that the ratio of radioactive samples left after time (t) is given by N/No. Hence;

N/No= (1/2)^5

N/No = 1/32

Hence the fraction left is 1/32 of the original sample.

1. Pure substances cannot be separated into any other kinds of matter, while a mixture is a combination of two or more pure substances.

2. A pure substance has constant physical and chemical properties, while mixtures have varying physical and chemical properties (i.e., boiling point and melting point).

3. A pure substance is pure, while a mixture is impure.

An atom of a certain element has 12 protons, 14 neutrons, and 2 valence electrons. What is the name of this element?
DedPeter [7]

Given :

An atom of a certain element has 12 protons, 14 neutrons, and 2 valence electrons.

To Find :

The name of this element.

Solution :

We know, element with atomic number ( number of protons ) 12 and valance electrons is Magnesium.

Now, isotope of magnesium of proton with 14 neutrons is Mg-16 .

Therefore, name of element is Mg-16 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?
Nookie1986 [14]
The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.
 Hope this helps :)
