Answer:

12.213 minutes will be taken for 120 g-Thalium-208 to decay to 75 grams.

Explanation:

Radioactive isotopes decay exponentially in time, the mass of the isotope (m(t)), in grams, is described by the formula in time (t), in minutes:

m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} } (1)

Where:

m_{o} - Initial mass of the isotope, in grams.

\tau - Time constant, in minutes.

In addition, the time constant associated with the isotope decay can be described in terms of half-life (t_{1/2}), in minutes:

\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2} (2)

If we know that m(t) = 7.5\,g, m_{o} = 120\,g and t_{1/2} = 3.053\,min, then the time taken by the isotope is:

\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}

\tau = \frac{3.053\,min}{\ln 2}

\tau \approx 4.405\,min

t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{m(t)}{m_{o}}

t = -(4.405\,min)\cdot \ln \left(\frac{7.5\,g}{120\,g} \right)

t \approx 12.213\,min

12.213 minutes will be taken for 120 g-Thalium-208 to decay to 75 grams.

What happens when gases change to plasma?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:. In the case of neon, it is electrical energy that pulls the electrons off.

explanation-Plasma can be made from a gas if a lot of energy is pushed into the gas. In the case of neon, it is electrical energy that pulls the electrons off. When it is time to become a gas again, just flip the neon light switch off. Without the electricity to energize the atoms, the neon plasma returns to its gaseous state.

Select the molecule where free rotation around one or more bonds is not possible. Group of answer choices N2H4 C2Cl4 NH3 C2H6 CC
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

C₂Cl₄

Explanation:

To know if free rotation around a bond in a compound is possible, we need to see the structure of the compound (picture in attachment).

In single bonds, which are formed by σ bonds, the atoms are not fixed in a single position, and free rotation is permitted.

Double and triple bonds are formed by a σ bond and one or two π bonds, respectively. These bonds do not allow rotation, since it is not possible to twist the ends without breaking the π bond.

The chloroethylene (C₂Cl₄) has two carbons with an sp2-sp2 hybridization, they are bonded together by a double bond. <u>Free rotation on this bond is not possible, because six atoms, including the carbon atoms, doubly bonded and the four chlorine atoms bonded to them, must be on the same plane. </u>

A certain ore is 37.3% nickel by mass how many kilograms of this ore would you need to dig up to have 10.0g of nickel
jeka57 [31]
If the grade of the ore is 37.3% nickel, then the unknown quantity to get 10 grams of nickel is 0.373 x = 10 grams or x = 10/0.373=26.8 grams or 0.0268 kg needed to dig up to recover the 10 grams of nickel. At this grade of ore, 1 kilogram would yield 373 grams of nickel.
