The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a 180 mg sample. Find the mass that remains after t years. Let y(t) be

the mass (in mg) remaining after t years. Then we know the following. y ( t ) = y ( 0 ) e k t = ⋅ e k t Since the half-life is 30 years, then y ( 30 ) = mg. Thus, e 30 k = . Therefore, k = . Now, remembering that ln x n = n ln x and that e ln z = z , we have y ( t ) = 180 e ( t / 30 ) ( − ln 2 ) = mg. How much of the sample remains after 70 years? After 70 years we have the following. y ( 70 ) = 180 ⋅ 2 = mg (Round your answer to two decimal places.) After how long will only 1 mg remain? To find the time at which only 1 mg remains, we must solve 1 = y ( t ) = 180 ( 2 − t / 30 ) , and so we get the following. t = − 30 log 2 ( ) Hence, we conclude the following. t = yr (Round your final answer to one decimal place.)

Explanation:

1) Initial mass of the Cesium-137=N_o= 180 mg

Mass of Cesium after time t = N

Formula used :

N=N_o\times e^{-\lambda t}\\\\\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}

Half life of the cesium-137 = t_{1/2}=30 years[p/tex]where,
[tex]N_o = initial mass of isotope

N = mass of the parent isotope left after the time, (t)

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = half life of the isotope

\lambda = rate constant

N=N_o\times e^{-(\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}})\times t}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

N=180mg\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{30 years}\times t}

Mass that remains after t years.

N=180 mg\times e^{0.0231 year^{-1}\times t}

Therefore, the parent isotope remain after one half life will be, 100 grams.

2)

t = 70 years

N_o=180 mg

t_{1/2}= 30 yeras

N=180mg\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{30 years}\times 70 years}

N = 35.73 mg

35.73 mg of cesium-137 will remain after 70 years.

3)

N_o=180 mg

t_{1/2}= 30 yeras

N = 1 mg

t = ?

1 mg =180mg\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{30 years}\times t}

\frac{-30 year}{0.693}\times \ln \frac{1 mg}{180 mg}=t

t = 224.80 years ≈ 225 years

After 225 years only 1 mg of cesium-137 will remain.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Aluminum nitrate is a salt composed of aluminum and nitric acid, belonging to a group of reactive chemicals - organic nitrate and nitrite compounds. The nitrate ion is polyatomic, meaning it is composed of two or more ions that are covalently bonded. This ion makes up the conjugate base of nitric acid.

What is the total amount of heat released when 94.0 g water at 80.0 °C cools to form ice at −30.0 °C?
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The total amount of heat released  is  68.7 kJ

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of water = 94.0 g

moles of water = 94 / 18.02 = 5.216

80⁰C   ------>  0⁰C  -------->    -30⁰C

Q1 = m Cp dT

      = 94 x 4.184 x (0 - 80)

     = -31463.68 J

     = -31.43 kJ

Q2 = 6.01 x 10^3 x 5.216

    = - 31348.16 J

   = -31.35 kJ

Q3 = - 94 x 2.09 x 30

    = - 5893.8 J

   = -5.894 kJ

Total heat = Q1 + Q2 + Q3  = -31.43 kJ  + (-31.35 kJ  ) + (-5.894 kJ )  = -68.7 kJ

Total heat released = -68.7 kJ

Note that the "negative sign" simply indicates heat released, therefore no need to put it in the answer.
