If a sample has 25% parent and 75% daughter, how many halflifes have gone by?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anit [1.1K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Two half lives.

Explanation:

It is known that the decay of isotopes and radioactive material obeys first order kinetics.

Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.

That means for a sample 100% to decay to 50 % it will take one half-life, and to decay the remaining 50% to 25% it will take another half-life.

So, for a sample has 25% parent and 75% daughter it will have two half-lives.

If 1.50 μg of co and 6.80 μg of h2 were added to a reaction vessel, and the reaction went to completion, how many gas particles
Vlada [557]
To determine the number of gas particles in the vessel we add all of the components of the gas. For this, we need to convert the mass to moles by the molar mass. Then, from moles to molecules by the avogadro's number.

1.50x10^-6 ( 1 / 28.01) (6.022x10^23) = 3.22x10^16 molecules CO


6.80x10^-6 ( 1 / 2.02) (6.022x10^23) = 2.03x10 18 molecules H2

Totol gas particles = 2.05x10^18 molecules
