The radioisotope sodium-24 is used to determine the levels of electrolytes in the body. A 16-μg sample of sodium-24 decays to 2.

Answer:

t = 15 hours

Explanation:

To get this, we need to write the general expression for the mass or concentration in life decay which is the following:

A = Ao * e^(-kt)   (1)

K is a constant decay and depends of the half life. The expression is:

k = ln2 / t₁/₂   (2)

In this question, we have the innitial mass and the final mass, and the time required to get that mass. So, with these data, we first solve for the constant k, and then, use this value to get the half life. In other words, we solve for k in (1) and then, solve for half life in (2):

2 = 16 * e(-45k)

2/16 = e(-45k)

0.125 = e(-45k)

ln(0.125) = -45k

k = -ln(0.125)/45

k = 0.0462 h⁻¹

Now that we have k, let's calculate half life:

t₁/₂ = ln2/k

t₁/₂ = ln2 / 0.0462

t₁/₂ = 15 h

This is the half life of sodium-24

miv72 [106K]

Answer : Option 1) nuclei of H^{1} and nuclei of H^{2} only.


Explanation : Radiation is spontaneously emitted from nuclei of H^{3} because this isotope of hydrogen is highly radioactive as compared to other isotopes of hydrogen namely; nuclei of H^{1} and nuclei of H^{2}.


They have much stable nucleus as compared to nuclei of H^{3}.


The more it is unstable the more radiations will be emitted from its nucleus.

Determine whether the graph is that of a function by using the vertical-line test. If it is, use the graph to find (a) its domai
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

If the draw a line perpendicular with y-axis thru the diagonal line check but it meets only one curved point, therefore the curve indicates a function not otherwise.  They draw a vertical line perpendicular to the y-axis there, it just intersects one more chart point, which is why a graph is a feature:

In point a:

\to Domain= [-\pi ,\pi ]\\\\\to Range = [-1,1]

In point b:

Its y-axis length cut also by understanding the benefits of y-interception and the x-axis length gives the x-intercept.  

\to y-intercept = 1\\\\\to x-intercept = \frac{\pi}{2} ,- \frac{\pi}{2} \\\\

In point C:

Every graph is y-axis symmetric because the left side of the column as well as the middle side of the graph is about the same.
