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

GIVING BRAINLIEST One mole of hydrogen gas (H2), reacts with one mole of bromine Br2(g) to produce 2 moles of hydrogen bromide g
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The equation to show the the correct form to show the standard molar enthalpy of formation:

\frac{1}{2}H_2(g) +\frac{1}{2}Br_2(l)\rightarrow HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -36.29 kJ

Explanation:

The standard enthalpy of formation or standard heat of formation of a compound is the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements, with all substances in their standard states.

Given, that 1 mole of H_2 gas and 1 mole of Br_2 liquid gives 2 moles of HBr gas as a product.The reaction releases 72.58 kJ of heat.

H_2(g) + Br_2(l)\rightarrow 2HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -72.58kJ

Divide the equation by 2.

\frac{1}{2}H_2(g) +\frac{1}{2}Br_2(l)\rightarrow HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -36.29 kJ

The equation to show the the correct form to show the standard molar enthalpy of formation:

\frac{1}{2}H_2(g) +\frac{1}{2}Br_2(l)\rightarrow HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -36.29 kJ

(I will give brainliest, ONLY if its correct!)
ryzh [129]

Answer:

easy

Explanation:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.

The isotope of an atom containing 31 protons and 39 neutrons suddenly has two neutrons added to it.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Gallium-72

Explanation:

The elements are identified by the number of protons of the atom, which is its atomic number.

In this case the number of protons 39 (atomic number 39) permit you to identify the element as gallium.

Now, to identify the isotope you tell the name of the element and add the mass number.

The mass number is the sum of the protons and the neutrons

In this case, the number of neutrons is the original 39 plus the 2 added suddenly, i.e. 39 + 2 = 41, so the mass number is 31 + 41 = 72

Therefore, the isotope is gallium - 72.

Calcium and bromine have formed a bond. Leading up to this, calcium gave up electrons. It was a(n)
scZoUnD [109]
Leading up to this, calcium gave up 2 valence electrons and thus was denoted as a cation. These 2 electrons were transferred to bromine, which received an overall negative charge because of the addition of 2 valence electrons in its valence shell, and thus formed a negatively charged ion, an anion.

Both formed an ionic bond, due to the electrostatic charge of attraction between the 2 oppositely charged ions. If many ions of Ca and Br are present and numerous ionic bonds have formed it will undergo an arrangement which is that of an ionic lattice, type of structure.

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of the trace metal magnesium is 410 mg/daymg/day for males. Express this quantity in μg/da
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

410mg/day *\frac{1000 ug}{1 mg}

Recommended daily Amount (RDA) of magnesium is  410,000 μg/day.

Explanation:

There are 1000μg in 1 mg and 1000 mg in 1g

1 mg=1000μg

The Recommended daily Amount (RDA) is 410 mg/day of magnesium. Converting 410 mg/day into μg/day

410mg/day *\frac{1000 ug}{1 mg}

It will become 410,000 μg/day

So Recommended daily Amount (RDA) of magnesium is  410,000 μg/day.
