What is meant by the half-life of a radioactive substance

Chemistry
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The half life of a radioactive atom is the time taken for half of the radioactive nuclei to disintegrate. The shorter the half life, the faster a radioactive nuclei decays.

Half life is often expressed as:

                               Half life = \frac{0.693}{λ}

Where λ is the decay constant.

Two crates, one heavy and one light, are at rest on a waxed floor. Which crate will need the greater force to give the same chan
otez555 [7]
The heavy one because mass times force is equal to speed. The lighter one has less mass to it goes faster without as much effort. I hope that helps!

Toichiometry time! Remember to look at the equation for your molar ratios in other problems.
31.75 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 2 mol Ag | 107.9 g Ag         6851.65⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻   →   ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻  = 107.9 g Ag       ∅        | 63.5 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 1 mol Ag              63.5

There's also a shorter way to do this: Notice the molar ratio from Cu to Ag, which is 1:2. When you plug in 31.75 into your molar mass for Cu, it equals 1/2 mol. That also means that you have 1 mol Ag because of the ratio, qhich you can then plug into your molar mass, getting 107.9 as well.
