Radioactive radium has a half-life of approximately 1,599 years. The initial quantity is 13 grams. How much (in grams) remains a
Luda [366]

The quantity of substance remains after 850 years is 8.98g if the half life of radioactive radium is 1,599 years.

<h3>What is half life period? </h3>

The time taken by substance to reduce to its half of its initial concentration is called half life period.

We will use the half- life equation N(t)

N e^{(-0.693t) /t½}

Where,

N is the initial sample

t½ is the half life time period of the substance

t2 is the time in years.

N(t) is the reminder quantity after t years .

Given

N = 13g

t = 350 years

t½ = 1599 years

By substituting all the value, we get

N(t) = 13e^(0.693 × 50) / (1599)

= 13e^(- 0.368386)

= 13 × 0.691

= 8.98

Thus, we calculated that the quantity of substance remains after 850 years is 8.98g if the half life of radioactive radium is 1,599 years.

What type reaction is in the example below?<br><br>Na-Br + Cl-Cl --&gt; Na-Cl + Br-Br
Elis [28]

The type of reaction in the example below is a double replacement.

A double replacement can be identified by the switch between two reactants. This can be verified because both a Br and Cl are being switched to a new position in the reaction.
