Half-life decay reaction is a first order reaction which uses the formula : t 1/2 = ln 2 / k where k is the decay constant and t 1/2 is the half-life of the material. ln 2 comes from the division of the material into half. k from literature is equal to 0.1551×<span>10−9</span> <span>yr<span>−1. substituting, t1/2 = </span></span><span>4.468×<span>109</span></span><span> years.</span>

From literature, we would find that the half life of Uranium-238 is equal to 4.5x10^9 years. This is the same number of years to obtain 1/2 kg of Lead-206. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

What branch of chemistry studies the flow of electrons?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Your answer is B, Electrochemistry!

Explanation:

This is the part of chemistry that studies the chemical process in which electrons flow. This flow is called electricity. Electricity is generated by the flow of electrons, from one element to another element. This reaction is called oxidation reduction.

Which profile best describes the reaction C(s) + 2H2(g) → CH4(g),<br> AH = -74.9 kJ?
katrin [286]

Answer:

Option B. A

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

C(s) + 2H₂ (g) —> CH₄ (g). ΔH = –74.9 kJ

From the reaction above, we can see that the enthalpy change (ΔH) is negative (i.e –74.9 KJ) which implies that the heat content of the reactants is greater than the heat content of the products. Thus, the reaction is exothermic reaction.

For an exothermic reaction, the energy profile diagram is drawn in such a way that the heat content of reactants is higher than the heat content of products because the enthalpy change

(ΔH) is always negative.

Thus, diagram A (i.e option B) gives the correct answer to the question.
