Answer: It will take 29 years for a 10.0-gram sample of strontium-90 to decay to 5.00 grams
Explanation:
Radioactive decay process is a type of process in which a less stable nuclei decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations. The radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.
Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.
Half life is represented by
= rate constant
Given : Strontium-90 decreases in mass by one-half every 29 years , that is half life of Strontium-90 is 29 years.
As half life is independent of initial concentration, it will take 29 years for a 10.0-gram sample of strontium-90 to decay to 5.00 grams as the amount gets half.
The initial temperature of the metal = 35 °C
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Heat can be formulated :
Q = m . c . ΔT
Q = heat, J
c = specific heat, J/g C
ΔT = temperature, °C
m = 20 g
c = 5 J/(g°C)
Q = 500 J
T₁ = 40 C
the initial temperature :
