What is the half life of the element in the picture HELP BRAINLIEST

Chemistry
1 answer:
stira [4]2 years ago

Answer:

6 days

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Original amount (N₀) = 100 mg

Amount remaining (N) = 6. 25 mg

Time (t) = 24 days

Half life (t½) =?

Next, we shall determine the decay constant. This can be obtained as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 100 mg

Amount remaining (N) = 6. 25 mg

Time (t) = 24 days

Decay constant (K) =?

Log (N₀/N) = kt / 2.303

Log (100/6.25) = k × 24 / 2.303

Log 16 = k × 24 / 2.303

1.2041 = k × 24 / 2.303

Cross multiply

k × 24 = 1.2041 × 2.303

Divide both side by 24

K = (1.2041 × 2.303) / 24

K = 0.1155 /day

Finally, we shall determine the half-life of the isotope as follow:

Decay constant (K) = 0.1155 /day

Half life (t½) =?

t½ = 0.693 / K

t½ = 0.693 / 0.1155

t½ = 6 days

Therefore, the half-life of the isotope is 6 days

Consider an Al-4% Si alloy. Determine (a) if the alloy is hypoeutectic or hypereutectic, (b) the composition of the first solid
ozzi

Answer:

(a) Hypoeutectic

(b) Alpha solid, aluminium

(c) 70% α , 30% β

(d) 97.6% α, 2.4% β

(e) 97.6% α, 2.4% β

(f) 97% α, 3% β

Explanation:

(a) The eutectic composition for Al Si alloy is 11.7 wt% silicon, therefore, an Al-4% Si alloy is hypoeutectic

(b) For the hypoeutectic alloy, aluminium, Al, is expected to form first, such that the aluminium content is reduced till the point it gets to the eutectic proportion of 11.7 wt% silicon

(c) At  578°C we have

% α:  Al      (11 - 4)/(11 - 1) = 70% α

% L:  Si      100 - 70 = 30% β

(d) At  576°C we have

α: 99.83% Si    (99.83 - 4)/(99.83- 1.65) = 97.6% α

β: 1.65% Si (4 - 1.65)/(99.83- 1.65) = 2.4% β

(e) Primary α: 1.65% α (99.83 - 4)/(99.83 - 1.65) = 97.6% α

Eutectic 4% Si  = 100 - 97.6 = 2.4% β

(f) At 25°C we have;

α%: (99.83 - 4)/(99.83 - 1) = 97% α

β%:   100 - 97 = 3% β.
