<span>A chemical reaction is required to separate the substances in a compound. The components of a mixture can be separated based on their physical properties using techniques like filtration or distillation.</span>
The radioactive decay obeys first order kinetics
the rate law expression for radioactive decay is
![ln\frac{[A_{0}]}{[A_{t}]}=kt](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=ln%5Cfrac%7B%5BA_%7B0%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BA_%7Bt%7D%5D%7D%3Dkt)
Where
A0 = initial concentration
At = concentration after time "t"
t = time
k = rate constant
For first order reaction the relation between rate constant and half life is:
Let us calculate k
k = 0.693 / 72 = 0.009625 years⁻¹
Given
At = 0.25 A0
time = 144 years
So after 144 years the sample contains 25% parent isotope and 75% daughter isotopes**
Simply two half lives
One kilogram is equal to one thousand grams. Further, one gram is equal to 1000 mg. The conversion is as shown below,
(6.285 x 10³ mg) x (1 g / 1000 mg) x (1 kg / 1000 g)
The numerical value of the operation above is 0.006285 kg.
Pure substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. Mixture are physically combined structures that can be separated into their original components. A chemical substance is composed of one type of atom or molecule.
