The number of hours required : 37.2 hours

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

⁴²K (potassium -42)

Required

The number of hours

Solution

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

Based on Table N(attached), the half-life for ⁴²K is 12.4 hours, which means half of a sample of ⁴²K will decay in 12.4 hours

For three half-life periods :

\tt 3\times 12.4=37.2~hours

Calculate the mass of Cr(ClO2)2 that contains 5.57 × 10<br> ^22 chlorine atoms.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Your strategy here will be to

use the chemical formula of carbon dioxide to find the number of molecules of

CO

2

that would contain that many atoms of oxygen

use Avogadro's constant to convert the number of molecules to moles of carbon dioxide

use the molar mass of carbon dioxide to convert the moles to grams

So, you know that one molecule of carbon dioxide contains

one atom of carbon,

1

×

C

two atoms of oxygen,

2

×

O

This means that the given number of atoms of oxygen would correspond to

4.8

10

22

atoms O

⋅

1 molecule CO

2

2

atoms O

=

2.4

⋅

22

molecules CO

2

Now, one mole of any molecular substance contains exactly

6.022

⋅

10

22

molecules of that substance -- this is known as Avogadro's constant.

In your case, the sample of carbon dioxide molecules contains

2.4

⋅

10

22

molecules CO

2

⋅

1 mole CO

2

6.022

⋅

10

23

molecules CO

2

=

0.03985 moles CO

2

Finally, carbon dioxide has a molar mass of

44.01 g mol

−

1

, which means that your sample will have a mass of

0.03985

moles CO
