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

Chemistry

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.

2.40 g of NH4Cl is added to 19.4 g of water. Calculate the molality of the solution.
Sholpan [36]
Molality is the moles of solute per kg of solvent.

Moles of NH₄Cl = 2.4 / (14 + 4 x 1 + 35.5)
= 0.0448 mole

Molality = 0.0448 / (19.4 / 1000)
= 2.31 m
