464 g radioisotope was present when the sample was put in storage
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Sample waste of Co-60 = 14.5 g
26.5 years in storage
Required
Initial sample
Solution
General formulas used in decay:
t = duration of decay
t 1/2 = half-life
N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms
Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time
Half-life of Co-60 = 5.3 years
Input the value :
Answer:
The correct answer is - 4.
Explanation:
As we known and also given that the total of the superscripts that is mass numbers, A in the reactants and products must be the same.The mass of products A can understand and calculated by this -
The sum of the product mass number of products = mass of reactant
237Np93 →233 Pa91 +AZX is the equation,
Solution:
Mass of reactants = 237
Mass of products are - Pa =233 and A = ?
233 + A = 237
A = 237 - 233
A = 4
So the equation will be:
237Np93 →233 Pa91 +4He2 (atomic number Z = 2 ∵ difference in the atomic number of reactant and products)
Answer:
There is a lot of empty space between them.
Explanation:
The kinetic molecular theory postulates that a substance is made up of tiny particles called molecules. The molecules of a gas are in constant random motion and collide elastically with each other. They also collide with the walls of the container.
The magnitude of intermolecular forces of attraction between gas molecules is very small. Hence gas molecules are largely apart with a lot of empty space between gas molecules.
