Answer:
16.6 mg
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the rate constant (k) for Iodine-131 decay
We know the half-life is t1/2 = 8.04 day. We can calculate the rate constant using the following expression.
k = ln2 / t1/2 = ln2 / 8.04 day = 0.0862 day⁻¹
Step 2: Calculate the mass of iodine after 8.52 days
Iodine-131 decays following first-order kinetics. Given the initial mass (I₀ = 34.7 mg) and the time elapsed (t = 8.52 day), we can calculate the mass of iodine-131 using the following expression.
ln I = ln I₀ - k × t
ln I = ln 34.7 - 0.0862 day⁻¹ × 8.52 day
I = 16.6 mg
the answer is d. this is due to the fact a proton weighs 2000 times more then a electron
D. It gives the same results when experiments are repeated
Answer:
(i) Bohr; (ii) de Broglie; (iii) Heisenberg (v) Schrödinger
Explanation:
(i) Niels Bohr — 1913 — proposed that electrons travel in fixed orbits with <em>quantized energy levels</em> and that they jump from one energy level to another by absorbing or emitting quanta of light.
(ii) <em>Louis de Broglie</em> — 1924 — proposed the wave nature of electrons and suggested that all matter behaves as both waves and particles (<em>wave-particle duality</em>).
(iii) Werner Heisenberg — 1927 — formulated quantum mechanics in terms of matrices and proposed his famous <em>uncertainty principle</em>.
(v) Erwin Schrödinger — 1926 — applied wave mechanics to the electron in a hydrogen atom, showing that electrons exist in <em>orbitals </em>rather that orbits.
(iv) <em>Ernest Rutherford</em> — 1911 — proposed that atoms have most of their mass in a central nucleus (<em>nuclear atom</em>). Quantum mechanics had not yet been invented.
