Radioactive decay can be described by the following equation where is the original amount of the substance, is the amount of the

substance remaining after time , and is a constant that is characteristic of the substance. For the radioactive isotope iron-55, is If the original amount of iron-55 in a sample is 32.2 mg, how much iron-55 remains after 2.41 years have passed? mg

Answer:

Iron remains = 17.49 mg

Explanation:

Half life of iron -55 = 2.737 years (Source)

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

Where, k is rate constant

So,  

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

k=\frac {ln\ 2}{2.737}\ year^{-1}

The rate constant, k = 0.2533 year⁻¹

Time = 2.41 years

[A_0] = 32.2 mg

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

So,  

[A_t]=32.2\times e^{-0.2533\times 2.41}\ mg

[A_t]=32.2\times e^{-0.610453}\ mg

[A_t]=17.49\ mg

<u>Iron remains = 17.49 mg</u>

A 5.5 g sample of a substance contains only carbon and oxygen. Carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance. The rest is mad
Umnica [9.8K]

We have been given the condition that carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance and the rest is made up of oxygen. With this, it can be concluded that 65% of the substance is made up of oxygen. If we let x be the mass of oxygen in the substance, the operation that would best represent the scenario is,

<span>                                       x = (0.65)(5.5 g)</span>

<span>                                       <em> </em><span><em>x = 3.575 g</em></span></span>
