The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
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
Answer:
detail is given below.
Explanation:
This law was given by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Law of conservation of mass:
According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
For example:
In given photosynthesis reaction:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
The given equation is balanced chemical equation of photosynthesis. There are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.
If equation is not balanced,
CO₂ + H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
It can not follow the law of conservation of mass because mass is not equal on both side of equation.
