Answer:

15 h

Explanation:

Okay, the first thing that we all have to know before we can answer this question is that this Topic that is, Chemistry of Radioactivity is related to kinetics in a way that Radioactive disintegration follows the first order of Reaction which is under kinetics. So, we will be using the first order kinetics rate law to answer this question. Using the equation (1) below;

k =[ 2.303/ t ]×log ([N°}/ [Nr]) --------(1).

We are given from the question that N° = initial sample = 0.8 mg and Nr= sample remaining = 0.2 and the time taken = t= 30.0 h.

k= (2.303/ 30.0 h ) × log (0.8/0.2).

k=0.076768 h^-1 × log (4).

k= 0.076768 h^-1 × 0.6021.

k= 0.0462 h^-1.

Therefore, using the formula for Calculating half life below for first order kinetics we will be able to find out answer.

k = ln 2/ t(1/2). Where t(1/2) is the half life.

t(1/2) = ln 2/ k.

t(1/2) = ln 2 / 0.0462 h^-1.

t(1/2)= 0.6931/0.0462 h^-1.

t(1/2)=15 h

Which is a common way for a scientific calculator to show the number below? <br> 8.1 102
Elodia [21]
Answer: 8.1e+2 or 8.1E+2 (in the scientific notation mode), based on that the number given is 8.1 × 10².

Explanation


Scientific calculators use the letter e or E to show the numbers in scientific notation mode.

These are some examples of numbers that require scientific notation and how they are shown.

Number                 Scientific calculator display

6.022 × 10²³           6.022 e+23
5 × 10 -12              5 E -12

So, understanding that your question is about number 8.1 × 10², the scientific calculator could show  8e+2.

Nevertheless, since 8 .1 × 10² is 810, not a long number, if the display is not in scientific notation mode, it could just display just 810,

' A compound has the same properties as the elements it is made from.' True or false.Why?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

That's because elements in a compound combine and become an entirely different substance with its own unique properties.
