Radioactive gold-198 is used in the diagnosis of liver problems. the half-life of this isotope is 2.7 days. if you begin with a

sample of 8.1 mg of the isotope, how much of this sample remains after 2.6 days?

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to use the expression of half life decay of concentration (or mass) which is the following:

m = m₀e^-kt  (1)

In this case, k will be the constant rate of this element. This is calculated using the following expression:

k = ln2/t₁/₂  (2)

Let's calculate the value of k first:

k = ln2/2.7 = 0.2567 d⁻¹

Now, we can use the expression (1) to calculate the remaining mass:

m = 8.1 * e^(-0.2567 * 2.6)

m = 8.1 * e^(-0.6674)

m = 8.1 * 0.51303

m = 4.16 mg remaining

Consider the following gas phase reaction:
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

2NO(g) + O2(g) --> 2NO2(g)

now 400 ml of NO × 2 mol of NO2/2 mol of NO

= 400 ml of NO2

now 500 ml of O2 × 2 mol of NO2/1 mol of O2

= 1000 ml of NO2

now 400 ml of NO2 × 1 mol of O2/2 mol of NO

= 200 ml

subtract that from 500 ml of total i.e. 500-200 =300 ml

The total volume of the reaction mixture is 1000 ml -300ml = 700 ml

Is there a way to stop radioactive decay?
Wittaler [7]
The chain reaction is easy to stop. Just add a neuron absorbing material. The Control Rods in rectors can do that You just SCRAM (put the rods all the way in) or add something like Boron and the chain reaction stops. 

<span>The problem is the radioactive waste. Those isotopes break down and release heat spontaneously, no neutrons required. The only known way to stop or slow radioactive decay down is to slow time down by moving at relativistic speed or near orbit to a black hole.</span>
