Flourine is found to undergo 10% radioactivity decay in 366 minutes determine its halflife​

Chemistry
1 answer:
yuradex [85]3 years ago

Answer:

\boxed{\text{2408 min}}

Explanation:

The integrated rate law for radioactive decay is

\ln\dfrac{N_{0}}{N_{t}} = kt

1. Calculate the decay constant

\begin{array}{rcl}\ln \dfrac{100}{90} & = & k \times 366\\\\1.054 & = & 366k\\\\k & = & \dfrac{1.054 }{366}\\\\k & = & 2.879 \times 10^{-4} \text{ min}^{-1}\\\end{array}\\\\

2. Calculate the half-life

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{\ln2}{k}\\\\t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{\ln2}{2.879 \times 10^{-4} \text{ min}^{-1}} = \text{2408 min}\\\\\text{The half-life for decay is } \boxed{\textbf{2408 min}}

Synthetic, or man-made, elements typically exist for only a short time
o-na [289]
This is true. Elements past lead are radioactive, because the repulsive force of the protons cannot be overpowered by the “gluing” ability of neutrons (remember, likes repel). As more and more protons are added, generally, the elements become more unstable; for example, Bismuth, right next to lead on the Periodic Table, is radioactive, but the half life of this element is about a billion times longer than the current age of the universe, but Oganesson, element number 118, has a half life of fractions of a second.
