How many milligrams remain of a 15.0 mg sample of radium-226 after 6396 years? The half life of radium-226 is 1599 years.

There are 4 half lives of radium-226 in 6396 years. 15.0 divided by half 4 times (15.0/2= 7.5, 7.5/2 = 3.75, 3.75/2 = 1.875) equals 1.875 mg of radium-226.

Explanation:

Formula for Acceleration Due to Gravity

These two laws lead to the most useful form of the formula for calculating acceleration due to gravity: g = G*M/R^2, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, G is the universal gravitational constant, M is mass, and R is distance.

Acetone is one of the most important solvents in organic chemistry. It is used to dissolve everything from fats and waxes to air

Yanka [14]

Answer: a. 79.6 s

b. 44.3 s

c. 191 s

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{8.7\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}=79.6s$

b) for completion of 32% of reaction

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-32}$

$t=\frac{2.303}{8.7\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{100}{68}$

$t=44.3s$

c) for completion of 81 % of reaction

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-81}$

$t=\frac{2.303}{8.7\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{100}{19}$

$t=191s$
