Answer:

6.3g of the 100g sample will be left after 15.2years

Explanation:

Half life is defined as the time taken by a radioactive substance to decay or reduce to half if its original value.

Mathematically, t1/2 = 0.693/¶ where ¶ is the decay constant.

Firstly, we need to get the decay constant using the formula for half life.

Given half life of radon (t1/2) = 3.8days

3.8 = 0.693/¶

¶ = 0.693/3.8

¶ = 0.182

If the initial value (No) if the substance is 100, the final sample (N) after 15.2years of decay can be gotten using the formula

N= Noe^-¶t where

N is the final sample after decay

No is the initial value of the sample

¶ is the decay constant

t is the time taken NY the object to decay

Given No = 100

¶ = 0.182

t = 15.2years

Substituting in the formula to get N we have;

N = 100e^-0.182(15.2)

N = 100e^-2.7664

N = 100×0.063

N = 6.3g

This shows that the initial value of radon would have decay upto 6.3g after 15.3years

a rectangular piece of aluminum foil measures 13.72 cm x 8.63 cm and has a mass of 3.1 g. Find how thick it is
Leona [35]

The two dimensions of aluminum foil are given 13.72 cm and 8.63 cm respectively with mass  3.1 g.

The density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm^{3}. It is defined as mass per unit volume thus, volume of aluminum can be calculated as follows:

V=\frac{m}{d}

Putting the values.

V=\frac{3.1 g}{2.7 g/cm^{3}}=1.148 cm^{3}

The volume of cuboid is l\times b\times h, the length and breadth are given, height can be calculated as follows;

h=\frac{V}{l\times b}

Putting the values,

h=\frac{1.148 cm^{3}}{(13.72 cm)(8.63 cm)}=0.009695 cm

Or, approximately 9.7\times 10^{-3}cm

Therefore, thickness of aluminum foil is 9.7\times 10^{-3}cm

The following combinations are not allowed. If n and ml are correct, change the l value to create an allowable combination:
ololo11 [35]

The allowable combination for the atomic orbital is n=3, l=1 or 2, m_{l}=+1.

<h3>What are the three quantum numbers of an atomic orbital?</h3>

Three quantum numbers specify an atomic orbital:

- The principal quantum number, n, which is a positive integer, describes the relative size of the orbital and its distance from the nucleus.

- l is the angular momentum quantum number that is related to the shape of the orbital; l is an integer from 0 to n-1 (so n limits l ),

- $\boldsymbol{m}_{l}$ is the magnetic quantum number that prescribes the three-dimensional shape of the orbital around the nucleus; m_{l} values are integers from -l to =l(l limits ml)

For n = 3, l can have three values: 0, 1, and 2. Hence, the l value must be lower than 3. Because of m_{l}= +1, the l value must be higher than 0. Two l values are consistent with n and m_{l) values:

l= 1 or 2

Therefore, the allowable condition is n=7, l=1 or 2, m_{l}=+3.
