1 answer:

8 0

There are two types of fluid in the body extracellular fluid and intracellular fluid (ECF and ICF), together they are account for total body water.
The Sodium (Na+) ion is at higher concentration in the extracellular fluid than in the intracellular fluid. The function of extracellular fluid is that it provide cells to watery environment so that they can easily live and perform their function.

If the half-life of a radionulide is 1 month, what percent remains after 4 months?

Aliun [14]

Answer:

6.25% of the original amount

Explanation:

half-life means that half is gone for every certain period of time. Because the half life is 1 month, only half of the 'radionulide' is left every month.

after 1 month= 50%

after 2 months= 25%

after 3 months= 12.5%

after 4 months= 6.25%

Calculate the fraction of lattice sites that are schottky defects for cesium chloride at its melting temperature (645oc). assume

baherus [9]

Answer : 7.87 X $10^{-6}$ .

Explanation : To find the fraction of schottky defects in the given lattice of CsCl,

we use the formula, $\frac{N_{s} }{N}} = exp ( \frac{-Q_{s}}{2KT} )$

on solving with the given values , $Q_{s}= 1.86 eV$ and T as 645 + 273 K and rest are the constants.

$\frac{N_{s} }{N}} = exp ( \frac{-1.86 eV}{2 X (8.62 X 10^{-5}) X (645 +273)} )$

we get the answer as 7.87 X $10^{-6}$ .
