In order for a solute to dissolve in a solvent,
the attractive forces between solute particles and the solvent particles must
be stronger than the attractive forces between solute-solute and
solvent-solvent particles. This is important so that the solute will remain in
solution.
Answer:
Use the activity formula,
T1/2 = 4.468 x 10^9 yr x 365 x 24 x 3600 = 1.409 x 10^17 sec
l = ln(2)/T1/2 = ln(2)/1.409 x 10^17 = 4.91932697 x 10^-18 s-1
DN/Dt = lN, 265 = 4.91932697 x 10^-18 x N
<u><em>N = 5.38 x 10^19 nuclei</em></u>
The two elements that produce background radiation on earth are Radon and Uranium. Airborne radon can decay on its own. Radon undergoes alpha decay to produce Polonium. Uranium naturally undergoes alpha decay to produce Thorium.
