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

Are ions always smaller than their neutral atoms

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The negative ion is larger than the original atom. but the same number of positive protons, the size of the ionic radius will increase. When an atom has its electrons attracted to another atom it becomes a positive ion. The positive ion is smaller than the original atom.

Many of the lunar craters are due to volcanic eruptions true or false

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

Craters on the Moon are caused by asteroids and meteorites colliding with the lunar surface. The Moon's surface is covered with thousands of craters. ... It also has very little geologic activity (like volcanoes) or weathering (from wind or rain) so craters remain intact from billions of years.

150 mL of 0.25 mol/L magnesium chloride solution and 150 mL of 0.35 mol/L silver nitrate solution are mixed together. After reac

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

$0.175\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

Magnesium chloride and silver nitrate reacts at a $2:1$ ratio:

$\rm MgCl_2\, (aq) + 2\, AgNO_3\, (aq) \to Mg(NO_3)_2 \, (aq) + 2\, AgCl\, (s)$ .

In reality, the nitrate ion from silver nitrate did not take part in this reaction at all. Consider the ionic equation for this very reaction:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm Mg^{2+} + 2\, Cl^{-} + 2\, Ag^{+} + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \\&\to \rm Mg^{2+} + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} + 2\, AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

The precipitate silver chloride $\rm AgCl$ is insoluble in water and barely ionizes. Hence, $\rm AgCl\!$ isn't rewritten as ions.

Net ionic equation:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+} + Cl^{-} \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the initial quantity of nitrate ions in the mixture.

$\begin{aligned}n(\text{initial}) &= c(\text{initial}) \cdot V(\text{initial}) \\ &= 0.25\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} \times 0.150\; \rm L \\ &= 0.0375\; \rm mol \end{aligned}$ .

Since nitrate ions $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ do not take part in any reaction in this mixture, the quantity of this ion would stay the same.

$n(\text{final}) = n(\text{initial}) = 0.0375\; \rm mol$ .

However, the volume of the new solution is twice that of the original nitrate solution. Hence, the concentration of nitrate ions in the new solution would be $(1/2)$ of the concentration in the original solution.

$\begin{aligned} c(\text{final}) &= \frac{n(\text{final})}{V(\text{final})} \\ &= \frac{0.0375\; \rm mol}{0.300\; \rm L} = 0.175\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .
