Chemistry
1 answer:
Cloud [144]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

13 years

Explanation:

From;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (No/N)

Where;

t1/12 = half-life of Cobalt-60 = 5.3 years

t = time taken = the unknown

No = mass of radioactive material originally present = 5.2 g

N = mass of radioactive material at time t = 0.95 g

Substituting values;

0.693/5.3 = 2.303/t log (5.2/0.95)

0.131 = 2.303/t(0.738)

0.131 = 1.6996/t

t =  1.6996/0.131

t = 12.97 years

t = 13 years(to the nearest whole number)

Why does the TLC tank need to be covered?
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The reason for covering the container is to make sure that the atmosphere in the beaker is saturated with solvent vapour. Saturating the atmosphere in the beaker with vapour stops the solvent from evaporating as it rises up the paper.

Which of the following has the greatest mass, in grams? 1 atom of lead (Pb) 0.5 mol silver (Ag) atoms 0.3 mol gold (Au) atoms 25
Strike441 [17]

Answer : Option C) 0.3 mol of Gold.

Explanation : Amongst the options given in the question, 0.3 mol of Au is the greatest in mass in grams.

As 0.3 mol X atomic weight of Au (196.966) = 59.088 grams;

Silver has 0.5 mol X atomic weight of Ag (107.86) = 53.93 grams;

The other options are not relevant as they deal in the atomic range which has mass value very less as compared to the moles of elements.

Therefore, it is clear that Au has the greatest mass amongst the given choices.

When 38^88Sr decays to 34^84Kr, a(n) ______________ is emitted
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - alpha particle and positron.

Explanation:

In this question, it is given that, 38^88Sr decays to 34^84Kr, which means there is an atomic number decrease by 4, 38 to 34, and atomic mass decreases by 4 as well 88 to 84.

A decrease in the atomic mass is possible only when there is an emission of the alpha particle as an alpha particle is made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. If an atom emits an alpha particle, there is a change in atomic number as it decreases by two, and its mass number decreases by four.

So after the emission of an alpha particle, the new atom would be

38^88Sr=> 36^84X => 34^84Kr

so there is also two positron emission that leads to decrease in atomic number by one with each emission:

38^88Sr=> 2^4He+ 36^84X => 36^84X + 2(1^0β+) => 34^84Kr

Positron decay is the conversion of a proton into a neutron with the emission of a positron that causes the atomic number is decreased by one, which causes a change in the elemental identity of the daughter isotope.
