According to Arrhenius definition of acids, is an acid.
According to Arrhenius definition of acids and bases, acid is any substance that produces hydrogen ion in solution as its only positive ion.
Following this definition, let us now consider what happens when is introduced into a water;
(aq)-------> NH3(aq) +
(aq)
Hence, according to Arrhenius definition of acids, is an acid.
For another example of Arrhenius acids, see
Explanation:
1) Initial mass of the Cesium-137== 180 mg
Mass of Cesium after time t = N
Formula used :
Half life of the cesium-137 = = initial mass of isotope
N = mass of the parent isotope left after the time, (t)
= half life of the isotope
= rate constant
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get
Mass that remains after t years.
Therefore, the parent isotope remain after one half life will be, 100 grams.
2)
t = 70 years
N = 35.73 mg
35.73 mg of cesium-137 will remain after 70 years.
3)
N = 1 mg
t = ?
t = 224.80 years ≈ 225 years
After 225 years only 1 mg of cesium-137 will remain.
