Uranium-238 decays to lead-206 with a half-life of 4.5 x 109 yr. Determine how much uranium-238 decays in milligrams (to three s

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

2.15 mg of uranium-238 decays

Explanation:

For decay of radioactive nuclide-

$N=N_{0}.(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}$

where N is amount of radioactive nuclide after t time, $N_{0}$ is initial amount of radioactive nuclide and $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ is half life of radioactive nuclide

Here $N_{0}=4.60 mg$ , $t=4.1\times 10^{9}yr$ and $t_{\frac{1}{2}}=4.5\times 10^{9}yr$

So, $N=(4.60mg)\times (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{4.1\times 10^{9}}{4.5\times 10^{9}}}$

so, N = 2.446 mg

mass of uranium-238 decays = (4.60-2.446) mg = 2.15 mg

The magnitude of an earthquake, measured on the Richter Scale, is M log1o T where / is the amplitude registered on a seismograph

just olya [345]

Answer: The magnitude rating for an earthquake causing an amplitude 10,000,000 times $I_o$ is 7.

Explanation:

Richter scale is defined as the scale which expresses the magnitude of earthquake on the basis of the seismograph oscillations.

The equation used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake on Richter scale is:

$M=log_{10}\frac{I}{I_o}$

where

I = amplitude registered on seismograph 100 km away from seismic center = $10,000,000I_o$

$I_o$ = small amplitude

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$M=\log_{10}(\frac{10000000I_o}{I_o})\\\\M=7$

Hence, the magnitude rating for an earthquake causing an amplitude 10,000,000 times $I_o$ is 7.

Which of the following is true: A. Gamma rays are too dangerous to be used in a medicinal way. B. Gamma radiation is used common

ratelena [41]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Gamma radiation penetrates the cell wall of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and can inhibit their metabolic functions as well as destroy their DNA.

Debunking the other answers:

A is incorrect as Gamma radiation is used in the treatment of cancer via radiotherapy.

B is incorrect as Gamma rays are too small and would just penetrate any smoke particles.

C is incorrect because Gamma rays are used to disinfect food products to prevent food borne illness. Irradiation is safe to use on food and does not make it radioactive.

Thus, D is correct.
