Why do you think radioactive decay is measured in half lives, based on the characteristics of the graph.

Chemistry
1 answer:
GREYUIT [131]3 years ago
3 0
The radio active decay of a substance or any chemical is measured in half-lives because of the period where there are significant changes in the amount of the chemicals. The amount of chemical is almost halved in the next period as is suggested by the given graph.

What would be the advantage of using a net ionic equation to represent a redox reaction
wolverine [178]
The net ionic equation is shorter to use and already leaves out the electrons that transferred from the reducing agent to the oxidizing agent. Also, in some occasions the aqueous ions H+ and (or) OH- ions that help balance the net ionic charge are no longer shown in the net ionic equation.

A sample of water with a mass of 27.56g and an unknown temperature loses 2443 Joules. If the final temperature is found to be 62
mixer [17]

Answer:

41.3 °C

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (M) of water = 27.56 g

Heat (Q) loss = 2443 J

Final temperature (T2) = 62.5 °C

Initial temperature (T1) =?

NOTE: The specific heat capacity (C) of water is 4.18 J/g°C

Thus, we can obtain the initial temperature of the water by using the following formula:

Q = MC(T2 – T1)

2443 = 27.56 × 4.18 (62.5 – T1)

2443 = 115.2008 (62.5 – T1)

Divide both side by 115.2008

2443 / 115.2008 = (62.5 – T1)

21.20645 = 62.5 – T1

Collect like terms

21.20645 – 62.5 = – T1

– 41.3 = – T1

Divide both side by – 1

– 41.3 /– 1= – T1 / –1

41.3 = T1

T1 = 41.3 °C

Thus, the initial temperature of the water was 41.3 °C

One<br> 63 Cu atom has a mass of 1.045 x 10-22 g. Calculate the mass of 3.0 moles of 63Cu atoms
12345 [234]

The mass of 3.0 moles of ⁶³Cu atoms is 188.8 g

<h3>Stoichiometry</h3>

From the question, we are to calculate the mass of 3.0 moles of ⁶³Cu atoms.

From the given information,

One ⁶³Cu atom has a mass of 1.045 × 10⁻²² g

First, we will determine the number of atoms present in 3.0 moles of ⁶³Cu atoms

Using the formula,

Number of atoms = Number of moles × Avogadro's constant

Number of ⁶³Cu atoms present = 3.0 × 6.022 × 10²³

Number of ⁶³Cu atoms present = 18.066 × 10²³ atoms

Now, we will determine the mass  of 18.066 × 10²³ ⁶³Cu atoms

If 1 ⁶³Cu atom has a mass of 1.045 × 10⁻²² g

Then,

18.066 × 10²³ ⁶³Cu atoms will have a mass of 18.066 × 10²³ × 1.045 × 10⁻²²

18.066 × 10²³ × 1.045 × 10⁻²² = 188.7897 g

≅ 188.8 g

Hence, the mass of 3.0 moles of ⁶³Cu atoms is 188.8 g
