Answer:

Half life of phosphorous-32 = 14 days

Explanation:

Given data:

Total mass of phosphorous-32 = 2.0 g

After 42 days mass left = 0.25 g

Half life of phosphorous-32 = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives passed.

At time zero = 2.0 g

At first half life = 2.0 g/2 = 1.0 g

At 2nd half life = 1.0 g/2 = 0.5 g

At 3rd half life = 0.5 g/2 = 0.25 g

Half life:

Half life = T elapsed / half lives

Half life = 42 days/ 3

Half life = 14 days

Answer:

solution:-a homogenous mixture of two or more substances in relative amounts that can be varied continuously up to what is called the limit of solubility.

solute:-is a substance, usually a solid, that is dissolved in a solution, which is usually a liquid.

solvent:-substance, ordinarily a liquid, in which other materials dissolve to form a solution.

polar molecule:-is a molecule in which one end of the molecule is slightly positive, while the other end is slightly negative.

Nonpolar molecules occur when electrons are shared equal between atoms of a diatomic molecule or when polar bonds in a larger molecule cancel each other out.

concentration refers to the amount of a substance in a defined space.

Swer all parts. (a) What is the wavelength (in nm) of radiation that has an energy ...
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

a) The wavelength is around 33.8 nm = 3.38*10⁻¹ nm

b) Ultraviolet

Explanation:

a) The energy (E) of a photon is related to its wavelength (λ) by the Planck's equation:

E = h\frac{c}{\lambda}----(1)

where h = Planck's constant = 6.626*10^-34 Js

c = speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s

E = 3.55*10^6 J/mol

The energy in terms of J/photon is:

=\frac{3.55*10^{6} J/mol*1mol}{6.023*10^{23} photons } =5.89*10^{-18} J/photon

Based on eq(1)

\lambda = h\frac{c}{E}=6.626*10^{-34}Js*\frac{3*10^{8}m/s}{5.89*10^{-18}J}=3.38*10^{-8}m

The wavelength is around 33.8 nm = 3.38*10⁻¹ nm

b) In the electromagnetic spectrum the ultraviolet range extends from 390 nm-8.82 nm

The calculated wavelength of 33.8 nm should fall in the UV range.
