It takes 16.02 days for the activity of Y90

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

The main particles are emitted by radioactive elements so that they generally decay are alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma (γ) particles  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

No=192 μCi

Nt=3 μCi

t1/2=2.67 days

\tt 3=192(\dfrac{1}{2})^{\dfrac{T}{2.67}}\\\\\dfrac{1}{64}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{\dfrac{T}{2.67}}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}^6=\dfrac{1}{2}^{\dfrac{T}{2.67}}\\\\6=\dfrac{T}{2.67}\\\\T=16.02~days

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

C: Sodium chloride

Explanation:

Common salt is gotten when sodium atoms reacts with chlorine atoms in an exothermic reaction to form an ionic substance known as sodium chloride with the chemical formula NaCl.

Equation is;

2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl

Looking at the options, the correct one is Sodium chloride.

Water is moving across a membrane from solution a into solution
leva [86]

The answer is solution a must have a lower solute concentration than solution  b.

That is when water is moving across a membrane from solution a into solution b, then solution a must have a lower solute concentration than solution  b.

When solution a have a lower solute concentration than solution  b, then water moves across a membrane from solution a into solution b.

Write the equilibrium expression of each chemical equation.<br> 2H2S(g) 2H2(g) + S2(g)
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

<u>[H2]2[S2][H2S]2Kc=[H2]2[S2][H2S]2</u>

Explanation:

2H2S(g)⇋2H2(g)+S2(g)2H2S(g)⇋2H2(g)+S2(g)

The equilibrium constant expression in terms of concentrations is:

Kc=<u>[H2]2[S2][H2S]2Kc=[H2]2[S2][H2S]2</u><u>.</u>
