The half life for the decay of radium is 1620 years what is the rate constant

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lilit [14]3 years ago
3 0
Decay is a type of degradation reaction and thus is considered a first order reaction. thus the formula goes like this.
 
rate constant= 0.693/half life

so here...

rate constant= 0.693/1620 year^-1

Explain what will happen to the organisms that is affected by human activities.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Human activity is by far the biggest cause of habitat loss.

Humans are now responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and plant species. We take up more space on Earth for our homes and cities. We pollute habitats. ... Human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive.

Explanation:

Human activities are the various actions for recreation, living, or necessity done by people. For instance it includes leisure, entertainment, industry, recreation, war, and exercise.

Over time, destruction of such habitats leads to reduced biodiversity, weakening the Earth's ecosystems, and ultimately posing a major threat to human life. While, significant tracts of habitat have been lost, and along with them many species of plant and animal, steps can be taken to slow and even reverse the process.

One of the most significant ways in which humans have impacted on the lives of other species is by causing climate change. Many animals, including birds and frogs, now breed much earlier in spring in Britain than they did 20 years ago. Whether or not this is having a harmful effect on them has yet to be determined.

Determine the distance of closest approach (in fm) before the alpha particle reverses direction. Assume the lead nucleus remains
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Take E(alpha particle energy) = 5.5 MeV (5.5x106x1.6x10-19)

If the charge on the lead nucleus is +82e(atomic number of lead is 82) = +82x1.6x10-19 C and the charge on the alpha particle is +2e = 2x1.6x10-19 C

Using dc = (1/4πεo)qQ/Eα we have

dc = [9x10^9x(2x1.6x10-19x82x1.6x10-19)]/5.5x10-13 = 6.67x10^-13m. = 6.67 x 10^-13 x 10^15 = 6.67 x 10^2fm

Note: 1meter = 10^15fentometer

Explanation:

This is well inside the atom but some eight nuclear diameters from the centre of the lead nucleus.

Ammonium phosphate ((NH4)3 PO4) is an important ingredient to many fertilizers. It can be made by reacting phosphoric acid (H3 P
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

15.35 g of (NH₄)₃PO₄

Explanation:

First we need to look at the chemical reaction:

3 NH₃ + H₃PO₄ → (NH₄)₃PO₄

Now we calculate the number of moles of ammonia (NH₃):

number of moles = mass / molecular wight

number of moles = 5.24 / 17 = 0.308 moles of NH₃

Now from the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if         3 moles of NH₃ are produce 1 mole of (NH₄)₃PO₄

then   0.308 moles of NH₃ are produce X moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄

X = (0.308 × 1) / 3 = 0.103 moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄

mass = number of moles × molecular wight

mass = 0.103 × 149 = 15.35 g of (NH₄)₃PO₄
