If you have 222 g of radioisotope with a half-life of 5 days, how much isotope would remain after 15 days?

1 answer:

7 0

If the half life is 5 days, you would have to divide 222 by 2 3 times.
so 222/2 =111g
111/2 = 55.5g
55.5/2 = 27.75g

after four half life the mass would be
27.75/2
13.875g

the percent would be
13.875/222
= 6.25%

Answer:

The maximum kinetic energy of electron is = 2.93 × $10^{-19}$ Joule

Explanation:

We know that total energy

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$ ------------ (1)

Here h = plank's constant = 6.62 × $10^{-34}$ J s

c = speed of light = 3 × $10^{8}$ $\frac{m}{s}$

$\lambda$ = 261 nm = 261 × $10^{-9}$ m

Put all these values in equation (1) we get

E = 7.6 × $10^{-19}$ J

We know that

Total energy = Energy to remove an electron + K.E of electron

Energy to remove an electron = $\frac{281.7 (1000)}{(6.023)10^{23} }$

Energy to remove an electron = 4.67 × $10^{-19}$ J

K.E of electron = Total energy - Energy to remove an electron

K.E of electron = 7.6 × $10^{-19}$ - 4.67 × $10^{-19}$

K.E of electron = 2.93 × $10^{-19}$ Joule

Therefore the maximum kinetic energy of electron is = 2.93 × $10^{-19}$ Joule
