Answer:

24.12 days

Explanation:

First off, let's find out how many decays the compound ; iodine131 undergoes to get to 17.5 percent of its original value.

Half life is simply the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

The half-life of iodine-131 is 8.04 days.

100% - 50%  (First Half life)

50%  - 25%  (Second Half life)

25%  - 17.5%  (Third Half life)

This mwans i would take three halff lives;

Time requred = 3 * Half life = 3 * 8.04 days = 24.12 days

2. Calculate the [H+] in the following solutions, given their pH, and identify the solution as acidic, basic or neutral.
givi [52]

Answer:

a) acidic; [H+] = 10^-2.5 = 3 x 10^-3

b) basic; [H+] = 10^-11.7 = 2 x 10^-12

c) slightly acidic (almost neutral); [H+] = 10^-6.8 = 1.6 x 10^-7

d) acidic; [H+] = 10^-3.31 = 4.9 x 10^-4

Explanation:

pH < 7 is acidic; pH > 7 is basic; pH = 7 is neutral

[H+] = 10^-pH
