A patient receiving an X-ray in a hospital
<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:
![k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{[A_o]}{[A]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k%3D%5Cfrac%7B2.303%7D%7Bt%7D%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BA_o%5D%7D%7B%5BA%5D%7D)
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.
Your answer is correct.
MgO(s) + H2O(l) ----> Mg(OH)2(aq)

Answer:
Energy was released
Explanation:
Decrease in temperature means less energy, but the energy had to have been transferred because energy can't be destroyed or created. So if the temp. went down, energy must have been lost. (If it had been absorbed, the temp. would have gone up)
