You are asked to write observations about a 100g sample of Nitrogen-16 before it decays, but you're running late. In order to ma
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

You cannot make observations if you are 57 seconds late into the lab.

Explanation:

The atomic nucleus can split by decay into 2 or more particles as a result of the instability of its atomic nucleus due to the fact that radioactive elements possess an unstable atomic nucleus.

Now, the primary particles which are emitted by radioactive elements in order to make them decay are alpha, beta & gamma particles.

The half life equation is;

N_t = N₀(½)^(t/t_½)

Where:

t = duration of decay

t_½ = half-life

N₀ = number of radioactive atoms initially

N_t = number of radioactive atoms remaining after decay over time t

We are given;

t = 57 secs

N₀ = 100 g

Now, half life of Nitrogen-16 from online sources is 7.2 seconds. t_½ = 7.2

Thus;

N_t = 100(1/2)^(57/7.2)

N_t = 0.4139g

We are told that In order to make observations, you require at least .5g of material.

The value of N_t you got is less than 0.5g, therefore you cannot make observations if you are 57 seconds late.

Is it possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements? Why or why not? With a limited number of
mario62 [17]

Yes, it is possible to combine the same two elements to form two different compounds. An example is carbon dioxide CO2 and carbon monoxide CO. This is because two elements can form different types of bond and end up with different compounds.


There is a limited number of elements but a large number of compounds because of the above reason.
