Using the exponential decay model; we calculate "k"
We know that "A" is half of A0
A = A0 e^(k× 5050)
A/A0 = e^(5050k)
0.5 = e^(5055k)
In (0.5) = 5055k
-0.69315 = 5055k
k = -0.0001371
To calculate how long it will take to decay to 86% of the original mass
0.86 = e^(-0.0001371t)
In (0.86) = -0.0001371t
-0.150823 = -0.0001371 t
t = 1100 hours
Answer:
C. Scientists accepted the model at first but later rejected it.
Explanation:
Scientists accepted the model at first because it explained the hydrogen emission spectrum.
However, with the development of quantum mechanics, scientists had to modify the model (not reject it).
Electrons still had specific energies, but they no longer travelled in fixed orbits.
Instead, electrons had a probability of being found in a given region of space.
Answer:
In general, a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation of a phenomenon is called a scientific theory. It is a misconception that theories turn into laws with enough research.
