If 50% of a radioactive element remains after 4000 years, what is the half-life?

Chemistry

ANTONII [103]3 years ago

Hey there!

A half-life means after a certain amount of time, half of that substance will be gone/changed after that time.

If 50%, or half, of the element remains after 4000 years, that means the half life must be 4000 years.

Hope this helps!

PbCl₂(aq) → Pb²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)

NaCl(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

Pb²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) ⇄ PbCl₂(s) 

At increase the concentration of chloride ions - concentration of lead ions decreases, the lead chloride is formed.

But it only changes in physical change.

How?

Explanation:

The chemical reaction produces a new substance with new and different physical and chemical properties. Matter is never destroyed or created in chemical reactions. The particles of one substance are rearranged to form a new substance.

In a physical change, a substance's physical properties may change.

A chemical change is a permanent change. A Physical change affects only physical properties i.e. shape, size, etc. ... Some examples of physical change are freezing of water, melting of wax, boiling of water, etc. A few examples of chemical change are digestion of food, burning of coal, rusting, etc.

Hope this helps!

An atom's mass is determined by its protons and neutrons.

An atom's charge is determined by its number of protons minus it number of electrons.

Atoms become cations, or positively charged when they lose an electron, and since electrons have a negative charge, they become anions, or negatively charged.

Water is a universal solvent.

Carbohydrates (carbs) are used by the body for energy.

Steroids and triglycerides are lipids.

Proteins that catalyze chemical reactions are called enzymes.
