To solve this, we can use two equations.
t1/2 = ln 2 / λ = 0.693 / λ
where, t1/2 is half-life and λ is the decay constant.
t1/2 = 10 min = 0.693 / λ
Hence, λ = 0.693 / 10 min - (1)
Nt = Nο e∧(-λt)
Nt = amount of atoms at t =t time
Nο= initial amount of atoms
t = time taken
by rearranging the equation,
Nt/Nο = e∧(-λt) - (2)
From (1) and (2),
Nt/Nο = e∧(-(0.693 / 10 min) x 20 min)
Nt/Nο = 0.2500
Percentage of remaining nuclei = (nuclei at t time / initial nuclei) x 100%
= (Nt/Nο ) x 100%
= 0.2500 x 100%
= 25.00%
Hence, Percentage of remaining nuclei is 25.00%
Chemical energy is stored within atoms
Answer:
An element with 7 valence electrons will most likely be a halogen and gain an electron
Explanation:
Energy can be conserved by efficient energy use.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Energy can be transferred from one form to another, but it cannot be destroyed or created. So it can be conserved if efficiently used. Thus efficient usage of energy lead to conservation of energy. Due to conservation of energy, the forces can be renewable and non-renewable.
So, we should know how the input energy can be completely converted to another form of energy leading to efficient usage of energy without any loss. As if there is no loss, input energy will be equal to output energy leading to 100% efficiency.
