Two containers hold the same radioactive isotope. Container A contains 1000 atoms, and container B contains 500 atoms. Which of

the following statements about containers A and B is true? Two containers hold the same radioactive isotope. Container A contains 1000 atoms, and container B contains 500 atoms. Which of the following statements about containers A and B is true? The rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container A is greater (or longer) than the rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container B. The rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container B is greater (or longer) than the rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container A. The rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container B is the same as the rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container A.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

This is due to the differences in the concentrations of the radioactive isotopes in the two containers of the same volume. In container A, with a higher density of atoms, there is a higher chance of a neutron released in the decay of one atom, hitting another atom and splitting it. This is in comparison to container B that has fewer atoms that are widely dispersed due to the lower density. Atoms in cointainer A will therefore decay faster (shorter half-life) than atoms in container B.

How can you determine if a reacition is exothermic?
Marizza181 [45]
Exothermic reaction normally gives out heat for completing the reaction. the burning of a candle or the condensation of water vapour to water are all exothermic reactions. The prefix "ex" at the begining refers to external or outside and normally these kind of reactions release heat at the end.During neutralization, when the acida and bases are combined, it releases heat and this kind of reaction is definitely exothermic reaction.The combustion of any kind of fuel is also exothermic reaction as it gives out heat at the end.Fossil fuel burnt in cars and engines are good examples.
