Answer:
Half life is 6 years.
Explanation:
T½ = In2 / λ
Where λ = decay constant.
But N = No * e^-λt
Where N = final mass after a certain period of time
No = initial mass
T = time
N = 0.625g
No = 10g
t = 24 years
N = No* e^-λt
N / No = e^-λt
λ = -( 1 / t) In N / No (inverse of e is In. Check logarithmic rules)
λ = -(1 / 24) * In (0.625/10)
λ = -0.04167 * In(0.0625)
λ = -0.04167 * (-2.77)
λ = 0.1154
T½ = In2 / λ
T½ = 0.693 / 0.1154
T½ = 6.00 years.
The half life of radioactive cobalt-60 is 6 years
And what should I do with this information
Colligative
properties calculations are used for this type of problem. Calculations are as
follows:<span>
</span>
<span>ΔT(freezing point)
= (Kf)m
ΔT(freezing point)
= 1.86 °C kg / mol (0.705)
ΔT(freezing point) = 1.3113 °C
