Suppose you have 100 grams of radioactive plutonium-239 with a half-life of 24,000 years. how many grams of plutonium-239 will r
Alexandra [31]

To solve this problem, let us first calculate for the rate constant k using the half life formula:

t1/2 = ln 2 / k

where t1/2 = half life period = 24,000 years, therefore k is:

k = ln 2 / 24,000

k = 2.89 x 10^-5 / yr

 

Now we use the rate equation:

A = Ao e^(-k t)

where,

A = mass of Plutonium-239 after number of years

Ao = initial mass of Plutonium-239

t = number of years

 

A. t = 12,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 12,000)

A = 70.7 g

 

B. t = 24,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 24,000)

A = 50 g

 

C. t = 96,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 96,000)

<span>A = 6.24 g</span>

Explain why it is important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay aka radioactivity will remain constant over time?
marusya05 [52]

Answer and Explanation:

It's very important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay will remain constant over time to make scientists' lives easier when calculating the ages of fossils, compounds, etc.

If the rate changes, it would be extremely challenging for people to figure out the relative ages of rock strata, fossils, or other substances with radioactive elements in them. This is a fundamental assumption in order to be able to use radioactive dating.

Hope this helps!

The following equation represents the type of reaction called
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Reduction

Explanation:

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Mn⁺⁷ +3e⁻    →    Mn⁴⁺

Mn gets three electrons , its oxidation state reduced from +7 to +4 so Mn gets reduced.

Examples:

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
