<u>Answer:</u> The half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.
<u>Explanation:</u>
All radioactive decay processes undergoes first order reaction.
To calculate the rate constant for first order reaction, we use the integrated rate law equation for first order, which is:
![k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{[A_o]}{[A]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k%3D%5Cfrac%7B2.303%7D%7Bt%7D%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BA_o%5D%7D%7B%5BA%5D%7D)
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = time taken = 1.52 hrs
![[A_o]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_o%5D)
= Initial concentration of reactant = 100 g
[A] = Concentration of reactant left after time 't' = [100 - 27.3] = 72.7 g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
To calculate the half life period of first order reaction, we use the equation:
where,
= half life period of first order reaction = ?
k = rate constant = 
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.
The mass number of an atom is its total number of protons and neutrons. Atoms of different elements usually have different mass numbers , but they can be the same. For example, the mass number of argon atoms and calcium atoms can both be 40.
Diagram 1 exhibits the nature of the particles within the state that forms after a solid melts. Solids melt into liquids and the particles within a liquid have a greater spacing than the particles in a solid. Moreover, these particles are free to slip over one another, which means that liquids do not have a definite shape; however, the particles are still confined in by intermolecular forces, which means that the volume of a liquid is definite.
Answer:
The specific heat capacity of silver is 0.24 j/g.°C.
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of sample = 55.00 g
increase of temperature ΔT= 15.0 °C
Heat absorbed = 193.9 J
Specific heat capacity of silver = ?
Solution:
Specific heat capacity:
It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance.
ΔT = change in temperature
Now we will put the values in formula.
193.9 J = 55.00 g × c ×15.0 °C
193.9 J = 825 g.°C × c
c = 193.9 J / 825 g.°C
c= 0.24 /g.°C
The specific heat capacity of silver is 0.24 j/g.°C.
