The isotope Np-238 has a half life of 2.0 days if 96 grams of it were present on Monday how much will remain six days later

Answer:

12.02 g

Explanation:

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

Half life (t½) = 2 days

Original amount (N₀) = 96 g

Time (t) = 6 days

Amount remaining (N) =..?

Next, we shall determine the rate of disintegration of the isotope. This can be obtained as follow:

Half life (t½) = 2 days

Decay constant (K) =?

K = 0.693 / t½

K = 0.693 / 2

K = 0.3465 /day

Therefore, the rate of disintegration of the isotope is 0.3465 /day.

Finally, we shall determine the amount of the isotope remaining after 6 days as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 96 g

Time (t) = 6 days

Decay constant (K) = 0.3465 /day.

Amount remaining (N) =.?

Log (N₀/N) = kt / 2.303

Log (96/N) = (0.3465 × 6) / 2.303

Log (96/N) = 2.079/2.303

Log (96/N) = 0.9027

Take the anti log of 0.9027

96/N = anti log (0.9027)

96/N = 7.99

Cross multiply

96 = N × 7.99

Divide both side by 7.99

N = 96 /7.99

N = 12.02 g

Therefore, the amount of the isotope remaining after 6 days is 12.02 g

Radda [10]

Answer:

0.886 J/g.°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the heat absorbed by the water

We will use the following expression

Q = c × m × ΔT

where,

  • Q: heat
  • c: specific heat capacity
  • m: mass
  • ΔT: change in the temperature

Q(water) = c(water) × m(water) × ΔT(water)

Q(water) = 4.184 J/g.°C × 50.0 g × (34.4 °C - 25.36 °C) = 1.89 × 10³ J

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the energy lost by the solid and the energy absorbed by the water is zero.

Q(water) + Q(solid) = 0

Q(solid) = -Q(water) =  -1.89 × 10³ J

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat capacity of the solid

We will use the following expression.

Q(solid) = c(solid) × m(solid) × ΔT(solid)

c(solid) = Q(solid) / m(solid) × ΔT(solid)

c(solid) = (-1.89 × 10³ J) / 32.53 g × (34.4 °C - 100. °C) = 0.886 J/g.°C

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1) Increase

2) Decreases

3) increases

4) Increase

Explanation:

These questions can only be answered by considering the principle which states that, "When a constraint such as a change in concentration, pressure or volume is imposed on a reaction system in equilibrium. The system will readjust itself in order to annul the constraint."  

Now, if more reactants are added, the equilibrium position will shift towards the right, If more products are added, the equilibrium position will shift to the left.

Similarly, the removal of H2S causes the O2 concentration to increase since the equilibrium position now shifts to the left.

Also, addition of O2 causes H2S to be removed as the equilibrium moves to the right.

Sati [7]

Explanation:

Bella is right

Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. However, many genes do not code for proteins. In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than 2 million bases.
