<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:
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = time taken = 1.52 hrs
= 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.
Half life is the time that it takes for half of the original value of some amount of a radioactive element to decay.
We have the following equation representing the half-life decay:
A is the resulting amount after t time
Ao is the initial amount = 50 mg
t= Elapsed time
t half is the half-life of the substance = 14.3 days
We replace the know values into the equation to have an exponential decay function for a 50mg sample
That would be the answer for a)
To know the P-32 remaining after 84 days we have to replace this value in the equation:
So, after 84 days the P-32 remaining will be 0.85 mg
