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.

In a Lewis diagram for methane (CH4), which atom or atoms is inside, or central?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

B carbon

Explanation

Lewis structure or dot structure is an easy way to get the bonding details of atoms in a molecule. If we talk about methane molecule carbon is central atom with four electrons that are bonded to four hydrogen atoms and each bond is single covalent bond.

Please see attached figure,

Hope it helps!

Cloud [144]

Answer:

protons

Explanation:

An element, by definition, always has the same number of protons.  Sodium, element 11, has 11 protons.  Anything with 11 protons is a sodium atom, regardless of the number of neutrons, electrons, or politicians.

A student did an experiment to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal alloy. The student put a sample of the alloy in b
guapka [62]

Answer:

a) ∆T=T1-T2

b) At the particle level the temperature changes are the result of the added energy causing the particles of water to move more vigorously. Either the particles of solid vibrate more vigorously about their fixed positions or the particles of liquid and gas move about their container more rapidly.

c) The state in which two substances in physical contact do not share any heat energy. The temperature of two substances in thermal equilibrium is said to be the same. Also see thermodynamics.

Explanation:

hope that helped good luck!

Discuss how the following factors determine the rate of electron transfer in biological systems:
Cloud [144]

Answer:check explanation

Explanation:

(a). HOW THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ELECTRON DONOR AND ACCEPTOR AFFECTS THE RATE OF ELECTRON TRANSFER IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEM:

Distance between the acceptor and the donor can affect in two ways; short distance and long distance effect.

Short distance causes

electronic orbitals of donor and acceptor directly overlap whereas in LONG DISTANCE reactions this coupling is indirect because of

sequential overlaps of atomic orbitals of the donor, the intervening medium, and the orbitals of the acceptor.

(b). HOW REORGANIZATION ENERGY OF REDOX ACTIVE SPECIE SURROUNDING MEDIUM AFFECTS:

the reorganized energy does not depend on the pre-existing intra molecule electric field. The charge transferred inside the molecule interacts with its aqueous surroundings.

Reorganized energy can be calculated using Poisson-Boltzmann equation.
