464 g radioisotope was present when the sample was put in storage
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Sample waste of Co-60 = 14.5 g
26.5 years in storage
Required
Initial sample
Solution
General formulas used in decay:
t = duration of decay
t 1/2 = half-life
N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms
Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time
Half-life of Co-60 = 5.3 years
Input the value :
Sulfur smells like rotten egg and is yellow...
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Rate law, at a given temperature:</u>
- Since all the data are obtained at the same temperature, the equilibrium constant is the same.
- Since only reactants A and B participate in the reaction, you assume that the form of the rate law is:
r = K [A]ᵃ [B]ᵇ
<u>2) Use the data from the table</u>
- Since the first and second set of data have the same concentration of the reactant A, you can use them to find the exponent b:
r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s
r₂ = (1.50)ᵃ (2.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s
Divide r₂ by r₁: [ 2.50 / 1.50] ᵇ = 1 ⇒ b = 0
- Use the first and second set of data to find the exponent a:
r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s
r₃ = (3.00)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 5.00 × 10⁻¹ M/s
Divide r₃ by r₂: [3.00 / 1.50]ᵃ = [5.00 / 2.50]
2ᵃ = 2 ⇒ a = 1
<u>3) Write the rate law</u>
This means, that the rate is independent of reactant B and is of first order respect reactant A.
<u>4) Use any set of data to find K</u>
With the first set of data
- r = K (1.50 M) = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s ⇒ K = 0.250 M/s / 1.50 M = 0.167 s⁻¹
Result: the rate constant is K = 0.167 s⁻¹
Answer: Your best answer is A.
Explanation: 1.35 is a constant and thus is does not change. The equation can be simplified to-
“b = (0.29 x h)+ 1.35”
So, if your rider is say 60 inches tall, the equation would change to-
“b = (0.29 x 60)+ 1.35”
Then to-
“b = (17.4) + 1.35” or “b = 17.4 + 1.35”
And therefore the size of the BMX bike frame in inches would be-
“b = 18.75”
Hope this helped :)
