The number of grams of radon 222 did it have 15.2 ago was 49.6 grams( answer C)
<u>calculation</u>
- calculate the number of half life it has covered from 15.2 days to 3.8 days
that is divide 15.2/ 3.8 = 4 half life
- half life is time taken for a radio activity of a specified isotope to fall to half its original mass
therefore 3.8 days ago it was 3.1 x2 = 6.2 grams
7.6 days ago it was 6.2 x2 = 12.4 grams
11.4 days ago it was 12.4 x2= 24.8 grams
15.2 days ago it was 24.8 x2=49.6 grams
Answer:
THE SPECIFIC HEAT OF THE ALLOY IS 0.9765 J/g K
Explanation:
Mass of alloy = 33 g
Initial temperature of alloy = 93°C
Mass of water = 50 g
Initail temp. of water = 22 °C
Heat capacity of calorimeter = 9.20 J/K
Final temp. = 31.10 °C
specific heat of alloy = unknown
specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g K
Heat = mass * specific heat * change in temperature = m c ΔT
Heat = heat capcity * chage in temperature = Δ H * ΔT
In calorimetry;
Heat lost by the alloy = Heat gained by water + Heat of the calorimeter
mc ΔT = mcΔT + Heat capacity * ΔT
33 * C * ( 93 - 31.10) = 50 * 4.2 * ( 31.10 -22) + 9.20 * ( 31.10 -22)
33 * C * 61.9 = 50 * 4.2 * 9.1 + 9.20 * 9.1
2042.7 C = 1911 + 83,72
C = 1911 + 83.72 / 2042.7
C = 1994.72 /2042.7
C =0.9765 J/g K
The specific heat of the alloy is 0.9765 J/ g K
