To solve this problem, let us first calculate for the rate constant k using the half life formula:

t1/2 = ln 2 / k

where t1/2 = half life period = 24,000 years, therefore k is:

k = ln 2 / 24,000

k = 2.89 x 10^-5 / yr

 

Now we use the rate equation:

A = Ao e^(-k t)

where,

A = mass of Plutonium-239 after number of years

Ao = initial mass of Plutonium-239

t = number of years

 

A. t = 12,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 12,000)

A = 70.7 g

 

B. t = 24,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 24,000)

A = 50 g

 

C. t = 96,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 96,000)

<span>A = 6.24 g</span>

Pachacha [2.7K]

Plasma technology is based on a simple physical principle. Matter changes its state when energy is supplied to it: solids becomes liquid, and liquids becomes gaseous. If even more energy is supplied to a gas, it is ionized and goes into the energy-rich plasma state, the fourth state of matter.ore than 99% of the visible matter in the universe is in the plasma state.

The total pressure of gases a, b, and c in a closed container is 4.1 atm. if the mixture is 36% a, 42% b, and 22% c by volume, w
Natali [406]

 The  partial  pressure of  gas C  is 0.902  atm


  calculation

partial pressure of gas c  =[( percent by volume of  gas   C /  total  percent)   x total pressure]


percent  by  volume of gas C= 22%

Total   percent  = 36% +42%  + 22%  = 100 %

Total  pressure  =  4.1 atm


partial  pressure  of gas C  is therefore =  22/100 x 4.1 atm = 0.902  atm
