After decaying for 48 hours, 1/16 of the original mass of a radioisotope sample remains unchanged. What is the half life of this

radioisotope

The half life of this radioisotope is 12 hours.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The length of time it requires to break down for an initial half amount or the amount of time taken to transform half of a reactant into product. Half of a particular sample took the time to experience radioactive decay. The time it would take to degrade radioactively into another component or nuclide for half of the atoms of an unstable element or nuclide.

If 1/16 of the sample remains it predicts that there were 4 half-life periods then 16 = 2⁴

4 half-life periods = 48 hours / 4

half-life period = 12 hours.

A sample of xenon gas collected at a pressure of 948 mm Hg and a temperature of 283 K has a mass of 128 grams. What is the volum
disa [49]

Answer:

V = 1.84 × 10³ L

Explanation:

You need to use the Ideal Gas Law and solve for volume.

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

First, you need to convert the pressure to atm.

1 atm = 760 mm Hg

948/760 = 1.247 atm

Next, convert grams of xenon to moles.  The molar mass is 131.293 g/mol.

128/131.293 = 0.975 mol

You now have all of the values needed.

P = 1.247 atm

n = 0.975 mol

R = 8.314 J/mol*K

T = 283 K

Plug the values in and solve.

V = nRT/P

V = (0.975 × 8.314 × 283)/1.247

V = 1.84 × 10³ L

The volume of the sample will be 1.84 × 10³ L.

Calculate number of moles of 4.4g of CO2 and 5.6L of NH3 . Pls help . Its urgent
kupik [55]
Moles of CO₂ = mass / molecular weight
Moles of CO₂ = 4.4 / (12 + 16 x 2)
Moles of CO₂ = 0.1 mol

Each mole of gas occupies 22.4 L at STP. Therefore,
Moles of NH₃ = 5.6 / 22.4
Moles of NH₃ = 0.25 mol

What is the density (g/mL) of an object that has a mass of 0.03 kg and occupies a volume of 25 mL?
tatyana61 [14]
First convert the kg to g ----- 0.03kg = 30g
Then divide the mass by the volume ----- 30g ÷ 25mL = 1.2
The density is 1.2g/mL<span />

A car can accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h [E] in 9.60s. calculate the average acceleration
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Acceleration is :

a = 2.89 m/s2

Explanation:

Acceleration : It is the change in the velocity of the object per unit time.

The object starts from the rest , so the initial velocity of the object is zero.

Initial velocity , u = 0

Final velocity = 100 km/h

Change the velocity to m/s because[ time unit is in second(9.60 s)]

1 km = 1000 m

1 hour = 60 x 60 sec = 3600 sec

1km/h=\frac{1000}{3600}m/s

1km/hr=\frac{5}{18}

100km/hr=\frac{5}{18}\times 100

v=\frac{5}{18}\times 100

v = 27.78 m/s

u = 0 m/s

time = 9.60 s

The acceleration"a" is calculated using :

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

a=\frac{27.78-0}{9.6}

a=\frac{27.78}{9.6}

a=2.89m/s^{2}
