Calculate the half-life of different radioactive sources.

1 answer:

7 0

The rate at which a radioactive isotope decays is measured in half-life. The termhalf-life is defined as the time it takes for one-half of the atoms of a radioactive material to disintegrate. Half-lives for various radioisotopes can range from a few microseconds to billions of years.

Review energy changes by identifying the correct statements about each reaction.

Grace [21]

Answer: The reaction is exothermic

The $\Delta H$ value is negative.

Heat is a product.

Explanation:

$2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+136.6kcal$

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and $\Delta H$ for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and $\Delta H$ for the reaction comes out to be negative.

The substances which are written on the left side of the arrow are reactants and the substances which are written on the right side of the arrow are products. Thus heat is a product.

Which of the following chemical reactions is an oxidation-reduction reaction? CuSO4 + BaCl2 yields BaSO4 + CuCl2 Pb(NO3)2 + 2NaC

Ratling [72]

The answer is N2 + 3H2 yields 2NH3. The oxidation-reduction reaction means that there is electrons transfer during the reaction which means that the valence changed.
