Three grams of Bismuth-218 decay to 0.375 grams in one hour. What is the half-life

Physics
1 answer:
alina1380 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Use half life equation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

where A is the final amount,

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is time,

and T is half life.

0.375 = 3 (½)^(1 / T)

0.125 = (½)^(1 / T)

(½)^3 = (½)^(1 / T)

3 = 1 / T

T = 1/3 hours

T = 20 minutes

The total thermal power generated by this plutonium source is determined as 5.65 J/s.

<h3>Total thermal power generated</h3>

The total thermal power generated by this plutonium source is determined as follows;

ΔP = Eλ

where;

  • E is the energy of the particles = 5.6 mev
  • λ is the activity of the plutonium, which should be = 6.3 x 10¹⁵ s⁻¹

ΔP = (5.6 mev) x (6.3 x 10¹⁵ s⁻¹)

ΔP = (5.6 x 10³ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J) x (6.3 x 10¹⁵ s⁻¹)

ΔP = 5.65 J/s
