The general equation for radioactive decay is;
N = N₀e^(-λt)
x - decay constant (λ) - rate of decay
t- time
N - amount remaining after t days , since we are calculating the half life, amount of time it takes for the substance to to be half its original value, its N₀/2
N₀ - amount initially present
substituting the values
N₀/2 = N₀e^(-0.081t)
0.5 = e^(-0.081t)
ln (0.5) = -0.081t
-0.693 = -0.081t
t = 0.693 / 0.081
= 8.55
half life of substance is 8.55 days
While the number nuclear protons as given is 34, and therefore we deal with the element selenium, there are 2 more electrons than protons, and therefore this species has an overall
2
−
charge.
We represent this selenide ion as
S
e
2
−
. Do I win 5 pounds?
Z= 34, therefore the atom is selenium
Answer:
<h3>The answer is 7.50 g/mL</h3>
Explanation:
The density of a substance can be found by using the formula
From the question
mass of iron = 150 g
volume = 20 mL
We have
We have the final answer as
<h3>7.50 g/mL</h3>
Hope this helps you
