Answer:
Half-life = 3 minutes
Explanation:
Using the radioactive decay equation we can solve for reaction constant, k. And by using:
K = ln2 / Half-life
We can find half-life of polonium-218
Radioactive decay:
Ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]₀
Where:
[A] could be taken as mass of polonium after t time: 1.0mg
k is Reaction constant, our incognite
t are 12 min
[A]₀ initial amount of polonium-218: 16mg
Ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]₀
Ln[1.0mg] = -k*12min + ln [16mg]
-2.7726 = - k*12min
k = 0.231min⁻¹
Half-life = ln 2 / 0.231min⁻¹
<h3>Half-life = 3 minutes</h3>
Answer:
Matter or energy can change from one form to the other
Explanation:
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transformed i.e. changed from one form to another. For example, mechanical energy can be changed to electrical energy.
Likewise, the law of conservation of mass/matter states that matter can not be destroyed or created but can change via physical or chemical means to conserve it. For example, matter can change from liquid state to gaseous state.
From the above two laws, it can be said that "matter or energy can change from one form to the other".
Answer:
1.64x10⁻¹⁸ J
Explanation:
By the Bohr model, the electrons surround the nucleus of the atom in shells or levels of energy. Each one has it's energy, and the electron doesn't fall to the nucleus because it can reach another level of energy, and then return to its level.
When the electrons go to another level, it absorbs energy, and then, when return, this energy is released, as a photon (generally as luminous energy). The value of the energy can be calculated by:
E = hc/λ
Where h is the Planck constant (6.626x10⁻³⁴ J.s), c is the light speed (3.00x10⁸ m/s), and λ is the wavelength of the photon.
The wavelength can be calculated by:
1/λ = R*(1/nf² - 1/ni²)
Where R is the Rydberg constant (1.097x10⁷ m⁻¹), nf is the final orbit, and ni the initial orbit. So:
1/λ = 1.097x10⁷ *(1/1² - 1/2²)
1/λ = 8.227x10⁶
λ = 1.215x10⁻⁷ m
So, the energy is:
E = (6.626x10⁻³⁴ * 3.00x10⁸)/(1.215x10⁻⁷)
E = 1.64x10⁻¹⁸ J
Hello!
Bromine can be classified as a pure substance.
Why?
Bromine is an element with atomic number 35 on group 17 of the Periodic Table. That's the first sign that shows us that it is a pure substance.
But the fact that it has a clear and defined boiling and melting point is a sign that we are in the presence of a pure substance. Pure substances are characterized by defined boiling and melting points.
Mixtures usually have a range of temperatures in which they melt and boil.
Have a nice day!
