For this problem, we use the integrated rate law for first order radioactive decay which is expressed as follows:<span>

An = Aoe^-kt

where An is the amount left after time t, Ao is the initial amount and k is a constant. 

We need to calculate first the value of k from the given ration An/Ao and the time it reached that ration. We do as follows:

An = Aoe^-kt
0.46= e^-k(9)
k = 0.0863 / day

At half life, the remaining substance would be equal to one-half of the original so that An/Ao would be equal to 1/2 or 0.50. We calculate the half-life as follows:</span>

<span>
An = Aoe^-kt
0.50 = e^-0.0863(t)
<span>t = 8.03 days</span></span>

27. The density of nickel is 8.91 g/cm3. How large a cube, in cm3, would contain 2.00 x 10^24 atoms of nickel? Use dimensional a
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer : The volume of the cube is, 21.88cm^3

Solution : Given,

Density of nickel = 8.91g/cm^3

Number of nickel atoms = 2\times 10^{24}

Molar mass of nickel = 58.7 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of nickel.

As, 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms form 1 mole of nickel

So, 2\times 10^{24} atoms form \frac{2\times 10^{24}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=3.321 moles of nickel

The moles of nickel = 3.321 moles

Now we have to calculate the mass of nickel.

\text{ Mass of Ni}=\text{ Moles of Ni}\times \text{ Molar mass of Ni}

\text{ Mass of Ni}=(3.321moles)\times (58.7g/mole)=194.94g

The mass of nickel = 194.94 g

Now we have to calculate the volume of nickel.

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

8.91g/cm^3=\frac{194.94g}{Volume}

Volume=21.88cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the cube is, 21.88cm^3
