Calcium-45 has a half-life of 162.7 days. If four half-lives have elapsed, how much time has passed?

2 answers:

Half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half its initial value. If four half-lives have elapsed for calcium-45, then it would be 4x162.7 = 650.8 days have passed. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

Answer:

1.78 years

Explanation:

First half life is the time at which the concentration of the reactant reduced to half.

Second half reaction is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/4.

Third half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/8.

Fourth half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/16.

There are four half lives. So, time has passed = 4*162.7 days = 650.8 days = 1.78 years

A lab technician mixed a 550 ml solution of water and alcohol. if 3% of the solution is alcohol, how many milliliters of alcoh

kupik [55]

The solution 550 ml total and first we will find the amount of alcohol. 3% = 0.03 550 ml x .03 = 16.5 ml alcohol
Then to find the amount of water used, we just have to subtract the amount of alcohol from the total volume
550 ml total - 16.5 ml alcohol = 533.5 ml water

What is the daughter nucleus (nuclide) produced when 64 Cu Cu64 undergoes beta decay by emitting an electron? Replace each quest

kenny6666 [7]

Answer: The daughter nuclide formed by the beta decay of given isotope is $_{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn}$

Explanation:

Beta decay is defined as the process in which beta particle is emitted. In this process, a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron.

The released beta particle is also known as electron.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

We are given:

Parent isotope = $_{29}^{64}\textrm{Cu}$

The chemical equation for the beta decay process of $_{29}^{64}\textrm{Cu}$ follows:

$_{29}^{64}\textrm{Cu}\rightarrow _{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Hence, the daughter nuclide formed by the beta decay of given isotope is $_{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn}$

A piece of metal with a mass of 611 g is placed into a graduated cylinder that contains 25.1 ml of water, raising the water leve

jeka94

Mass of metal piece is 611 g and volume of graduated cylinder is 25.1 mL. When metal piece is placed in the graduated cylinder water level increases to 56.7 mL. The increase in volume is due to volume of metal piece that gets added to the volume of water.

Thus, volume of metal piece can be calculated by subtracting initial volume from the final one.

$V_{metal}=V_{final}-V_{initial}=(56.7-25.1)mL=31.6 mL$

Thus, volume of metal piece will be 31.6 mL. The mass of metal piece is given 611 g, density of metal can be calculated as follows:

$d=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{611 g}{31.6 mL}=19.33 g/mL$

Therefore, density of metal is 19.33 g/mL.
