How is iodine-131 the same as iodine-126

1 answer:

8 0

Iodine 131 and iodine 126 are the same in the sense that, they both have the same number of electrons and protons in their atoms, it is only the number of their neutrons that is different. Iodine 131 has 78 neutrons while iodine 126 has 73 neutrons.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Iron remains = 17.49 mg

Explanation:

Half life of iron -55 = 2.737 years (Source)

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{2.737}\ year^{-1}$

The rate constant, k = 0.2533 year⁻¹

Time = 2.41 years

$[A_0]$ = 32.2 mg

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

So,

$[A_t]=32.2\times e^{-0.2533\times 2.41}\ mg$

$[A_t]=32.2\times e^{-0.610453}\ mg$

$[A_t]=17.49\ mg$

Iron remains = 17.49 mg

2.2 Chromium has four naturally-occurring isotopes: 4.34% of 50Cr, with an atomic weight of 49.9460 amu; 83.79% of 52Cr, with an

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 51.9963 amu

Explanation:

Given data:

Abundance of Cr⁵⁰ with atomic mass= 4.34% , 49.9460 amu

Abundance of Cr⁵² with atomic mass = 83.79%, 51.9405 amu

Abundance of Cr⁵³ with atomic mass =9.50%, 52.9407 amu

Abundance of Cr⁵⁴ with atomic mass = 2.37%, 53.9389 amu

Average atomic mass = 51.9963 amu

Solution:

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass +....n) / 100

Average atomic mass = (4.34×49.9460)+(83.79×51.9405) +(9.50×52.9407)+ (2.37×53.9389) / 100

Average atomic mass = 216.7656 + 4352.0945 + 502.9367 +127.8352 / 100

Average atomic mass = 5199.632 / 100

Average atomic mass = 51.9963 amu

How many grams of sulfur are in 3.54 g of H2S?

ira [324]

Answer:

3.329 g

Explanation:

First you need to determine the molar mass of H2S which is 34.1 g/mol.

With that we know that to find the moles of H2S we just divide the mass of sample with the molar mass.

3.54 g / 34.1 g/mol = 0.103812317 mol of H2S

This means that there is also 0.103812317 mol of sulfur since there is 1 mole of sulfur per 1 mole of H2S.

The molar mass of sulfur is 32.065 g/mol and to find the mass of sulfur you need to multiply the molar mass with the moles of the compound.

0.103812317 mol * 32.065 g/mol = 3.329 g of sulfur

Let me know if you get something else or if something is unclear in the comments so that we can figure it out.
