<u>Answer:</u> The half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.
<u>Explanation:</u>
All radioactive decay processes undergoes first order reaction.
To calculate the rate constant for first order reaction, we use the integrated rate law equation for first order, which is:
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = time taken = 1.52 hrs
= Initial concentration of reactant = 100 g
[A] = Concentration of reactant left after time 't' = [100 - 27.3] = 72.7 g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
To calculate the half life period of first order reaction, we use the equation:
where,
= half life period of first order reaction = ?
k = rate constant =
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.
Given is the specific heat of water equal to 4.18 Joule per gram per *C.
This means to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 degree Celsius we need 4.18 joule of energy.
Now, look at the question. We are asked that how much amount of energy would be required to raise the temperature of 25 g of water by (54-50) = 4 degree celsius.
To do so we have formula
Q = m C (temperature difference)
