Answer: half life

Explanation: Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics and the time required for the decay of a radioactive material is calculated as follows:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\hspace{1mm}log\frac{x}{a}

t= time required

k= disintegration constant

x= amount of substance left after time t

a= initial amount of substance

when one half of the sample is decayed, one half of the sample remains and t can be represented as t_{1/2}

at t= t_{1/2}, x=\frac{a}{2}

t_{1/2}=\frac{2.303}{k}\hspace{1mm}log\frac{a/2}{a}

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

Ethanol (c2h6o) is a common intoxicant and fuel produced from the fermentation of various grains. how many moles of ethanol are
Lynna [10]
n = m / M

Where, n is moles of the compound (mol), m is the mass of the compound (g) and M is the molar mass of the compound (g/mol)

Here, the given ethanol mass = 50.0 kg = 50.0 x 10³ g

Molar mass of the ethanol = (12 x 2 + 1x 6 + 1 x 16) g/mol
                                          = 46 g/mol

Hence, moles in 50.0kg of ethanol = 50.0 x 10³ g / 46 g/mol
                                                        = 1086.96 mol
