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:
3.50 molal
Explanation:
Molality → Moles of solute / kg of solvent.
Let's convert the solvent's mass from g to kg
16.2 g . 1kg / 1000 g = 0.0162 kg
Let's determine the moles from the solute
2.61 g . 1 mol / 46 g = 0.0567 moles
Molality → 0.0567 mol / 0.0162 kg = 3.50 m
