A volcano is formed when magma (Lava) spews up from deep within the earth. After each eruption the Volcano gets bigger and bigger, so basically after periods of time the volcano will get larger. Lava will rise in cracks in the earth or weak spots in the earths crust. The pressure is relieved thus resulting in a volcanic eruptions it forms the new crust and then eventually builds up in that spot making a volcano. They also form in places called hot spots and various other places.

The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a 180 mg sample. Find the mass that remains after t years. Let y(t) be

Stels [109]

Explanation:

1) Initial mass of the Cesium-137= $N_o$ = 180 mg

Mass of Cesium after time t = N

Formula used :

$N=N_o\times e^{-\lambda t}\\\\\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$

Half life of the cesium-137 = $t_{1/2}=30 years[p/tex]where,
[tex]N_o$ = initial mass of isotope

N = mass of the parent isotope left after the time, (t)

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ = half life of the isotope

$\lambda$ = rate constant

$N=N_o\times e^{-(\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}})\times t}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$N=180mg\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{30 years}\times t}$

Mass that remains after t years.

$N=180 mg\times e^{0.0231 year^{-1}\times t}$

Therefore, the parent isotope remain after one half life will be, 100 grams.

2)

t = 70 years

$N_o=180 mg$

$t_{1/2}= 30 yeras$

$N=180mg\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{30 years}\times 70 years}$

N = 35.73 mg

35.73 mg of cesium-137 will remain after 70 years.

3)

$N_o=180 mg$

$t_{1/2}= 30 yeras$

N = 1 mg

t = ?

$1 mg =180mg\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{30 years}\times t}$

$\frac{-30 year}{0.693}\times \ln \frac{1 mg}{180 mg}=t$

t = 224.80 years ≈ 225 years

After 225 years only 1 mg of cesium-137 will remain.
