<h3>Answer:</h3>

22.06 Hours

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Half life is the time it takes for a radioactive material or isotope to decay by half of its initial amount.

We are given;

Radioactive isotope Iodine-133

Initial counts per minute = 3150 counts

Counts after decay = 3055 per minute

Time taken = 1 hour

But, we know that to calculate the remaining amount of the radioactive isotope, then,

Remaining amount = Initial amount × 0.5^n , where n is the number of half-lives.

Therefore;

3055 counts = 3150 × 0.5^n

0.5^n = 0.9698

To get n

n = log 1 ÷ log 0.9698

 = 0.044

But, n is given by dividing time and the number of half lifes

Therefore, half life = time ÷ Number of half lives

                              = 1 hour ÷ 0.044

                              = 22.60 hours

Therefore, the half life of iodine-133 is 22.60 hours

What is the best conclusion according to the energy diagram of the chemical reaction?
Mariulka [41]

"The reaction will absorb energy" is the best conclusion according to the energy diagram of the chemical reaction.

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical bonds in the reactions are broken and formed as per process and contributed by three major steps: reactants, transition phase and product formation. Here transition phase is in equilibrium stage drived by activation energy, where bond is partially formed and partially broken, located at higher energy level then the starters.

The reactant's energy level is less relative to the products as seen in the endothermic reactions' energy diagram, which depicts that  the products are less balanced than reactants. Here when the reaction is forced to the forward direction, then it direct towards the more unbalance entities. As energy is absorbed in the endothermic reaction from surrounding, thus the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the reaction is positive.
