A sample of Francium-212 will decay to one sixteenth of its original amount after 80 minutes. What is the half-life of Francium-

212.
Chemistry

20 minutes.

The sample would lose one half the quantity of francium in each half-life.

1/16 = 1/2^{4} = 1/2 \times1/2 \times1/2 \times1/2

Thus a mass decrease by a factor of 16 would correspond to a period of four half-lives. It took 80 minutes for the sample to lose all these francium, therefore

t_{1/2} = 80/4 = 20 minutes.

morpeh [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Physical properties and physical change:

Physical properties are the properties of substance that do not involve the change in to another matter while the process through which change is happen is called physical change.

For example,

Melting point is physical property and the process "melting" is called physical change.

Freezing point is physical property and the process "freezing" is called physical change.

Chemical property and chemical change:

Chemical property is the ability of substance to change into another substance while the process through through which it is happen is called chemical change or chemical reaction.

For example:

The chemical property of iron is to react with oxygen and form rust. This process or chemical change is called corrosion. So corrosion is chemical change.

Hydrocarbon react with oxygen and form water and carbon dioxide. It is the chemical property. While the process is called combustion so combustion is a chemical change.

Explain why isotopes of the same element behave differently in nuclear reactions but not in chemical reactions.
topjm [15]
An isotope is a chemical structure that is highly similar to its parent isotope, with the difference lying in the number of neutrons that the compound has. As an example, carbon has the elemental number 6, which means it has 6 protons. 12-carbon will have 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while 14-carbon will have 6 protons and 8 neutrons. The differing neutron numbers will have an affect on the nuclear reactions between these two compounds, but their chemical reactions will remain the same as the neutrons will not affect how they perform on a chemical level.
