What percentage of the atoms in a sample of plutonium-238 will remain radioactive after 263.1 years

Chemistry
1 answer:
krok68 [10]3 years ago
7 0
We use the exponential decay formula to solve for the percentage of atoms in a sample of Plutonium-238 will remain radioactive after 263.1 years.
We are given with a half-life of 87.7 years and so, we can get the decay constant:
k = ln 2 / 87.7
k = 0.0079
A/A0 = exp(-kt)
A/A0 = exp (-0.0079(263.1))
A/A0 = 0.125
or
12.5%

What are the answers to these?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer: 1. AgF + CaCl2 = AgCl + CaF2

2. C2H4 +O2 = CO2 +H2O

3. K2S = K+S

4. O2 + Mg = MgO

5. Mg + AlBr3 = MgBr2 + Al

6.C2H6O + O2= CO2 + H2O

7.Li2SO4 + MgCl2= Li2SO4 + MgCl2

8.HCl + Zn= H2 + ZnCl2

Explanation:

Balance the equation

Write down your given equation.

Write down the number of atoms per each element that you have on each side of the equation.

Always leave hydrogen and oxygen for last.

If you have more than one element left to balance:

Add a coefficient to the single carbon atom on the right of the equation to balance it with the 3 carbon atoms on the left of the equation.

Balance the hydrogen atoms next.

Balance the oxygen atoms.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

dG will be the same -20 kcal/mol

Explanation:

The dG can be expressed in terms of the G(products) - G(reactants). If the amount of enzyme is doubled the Gibbs energy of the reactants and products will be the same, so the substraction dG has the same value
