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 type of energy depends on the distance between two particles and the charge of each particle? A. Electrical potential ener
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Electrical potential energy is a type of potential energy that results from the Coulomb force and is associated with point loads in a defined system.

For a point charge in the presence of an electric field E produced by another point charge Q, electrostatic potential energy is defined as the negative of the work done by the electrostatic force to carry the charge from position A to position B: mathematically this is a line integral.

The electric field is conservative, and, for a point charge, it is radial, so the work is independent of the trajectory.

Have a nice day!

During evaporation, the volume of the liquid decreases and the liquid becomes what??? ​
oee [108]

Answer:

Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor. ... Once water evaporates, it also helps form clouds
