Sometimes, it depends.
<span />
Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass.
The original mass is 200 g
Time taken is 60 hours
Final mass is 25 g
Therefore;
Final mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n; where n is the number of half lives.
25 = 200 (1/2)^n
1/8 = (1/2)^n
n = 3
Three half lives = 60 hours
1 half lives = 20 hours
Therefore; the half life of the radioactive nucleus is 20 hours
Answer:
The answer to your question is -2855 J
Explanation:
Reaction
2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ ⇒ 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
Formula
Heat of reaction = ΔHrxn = ΣΔHrxn products - ΣΔHrxn reactants
Substitution
ΔHrxn = { 4(-393.5) + 6(-241.8)} - {2(-84.7) + 7(0)}
ΔHrxn = {-1574 -1450.8} - {-169.4}
ΔHrxn = -3024.8 + 169.4
ΔHrxn = -2855.4 J
