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

Chemistry

timama [110]3 years ago

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.

Joseph drives 25miles North in 15 minutes then he drives 40 miles east in 30 minutes, then he uses cruise control option for 1 h
Musya8 [376]

Answer: 1.25 miles per minute

Explanation:

Average speed is the rate of change of total distance covered per unit time.

i.e Average speed = (Total distance / Time taken)

Total distance covered = (25miles + 40 miles + 70 miles + 15 miles)

= 150 miles

Total time taken = ( 15 minutes + 30 minutes + 1 hour + 15 minutes) = 120 minutes

Since 60 minutes = 1 hour, the total time taken is 120 minutes

Now, apply Average speed = (Total distance / Time taken)

= (150 miles / 120 minutes)

= 1.25 miles per minutes

Thus, Joseph drove with an average speed of 1.25 miles per minute.

The highly reactive metals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc. Are extracted by the.
OlgaM077 [116]

Metals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc. are extracted by electrolysis of their chlorides in molten state.

These metals are not extracted by reduction of their oxides with carbon because:

Carbon has less affinity for oxygen than these metals

Carbon is a weaker reducing agent than these metals

These metals easily form oxides with oxygen, their oxides are very stable. Affinity to the oxygen is one the greatest of all elements.

Reducing agent is element or compound who loose electrons in chemical reaction. Sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium are very strong reducing agents because they easily loose one or two valence electrons.

Electrolysis is a chemical methode that uses electric currents for chemical reactions.
