Radioactive decay => C = Co { e ^ (- kt) |
Data:
Co = 2.00 mg
C = 0.25 mg
t = 4 hr 39 min
Time conversion: 4 hr 39 min = 4.65 hr
1) Replace the data in the equation to find k
C = Co { e ^ (-kt) } => C / Co = e ^ (-kt) => -kt = ln { C / Co} => kt = ln {Co / C}
=> k = ln {Co / C} / t = ln {2.00mg / 0.25mg} / 4.65 hr = 0.44719
2) Use C / Co = 1/2 to find the hallf-life
C / Co = e ^ (-kt) => -kt = ln (C / Co)
=> -kt = ln (1/2) => kt = ln(2) => t = ln (2) / k
t = ln(2) / 0.44719 = 1.55 hr.
Answer: 1.55 hr
Answer:
Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has because of its motion. The molecules in a substance have a range of kinetic energies because they don't all move at the same speed. As a substance absorbs heat the particles move faster so the average kinetic energy and therefore the temperature increases.

Answer:
Anode half reaction;
Co(s) ----> Co^2+(aq) + 2e
Cathode half reaction;
2Ag^+(aq) + 2e-------> 2Ag(s)
Explanation:
A voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell that spontaneously produces electrical energy from chemical reactions. A voltaic cell comprises of an anode (where oxidation occurs) and a cathode (where reduction occurs). The both electrodes are connected with a wire . A salt bridge ensures charge neutrality in the anode and cathode compartments. Electrons flow from anode to cathode.
For the cell referred to in the question;
Anode half reaction;
Co(s) ----> Co^2+(aq) + 2e
Cathode half reaction;
2Ag^+(aq) + 2e-------> 2Ag(s)
