Half-life is the time needed for a radioactive to decay half of its weight. The formula to find the half-life would be:
Nt= N0 (1/2)^ t/h
Nt= the final mass
N0= the initial mass
t= time passed
h= half-life
If 25.0% of the compound decomposes that means the final mass would be 75% of initial mass. Then the half-live for the compound would be:
Nt= N0 (1/2)^ t/h
75%= 100% * (1/2)^ (60min/h)
3/4= 1/2^(60min/h)
log2 3/4 = log2 1/2^(60min/h)
0.41503749928 = -60min/h
h= -60 min / 0.41503749928= 144.6min
According to periodic trends, bismuth has the greatest atomic radius.
Iridium-192 is used in cancer treatment, a small cylindrical piece of 192 Ir, 0.6 mm in diameter (0.3mm radius) and 3.5 mm long, is surgically inserted into the tumor. if the density of iridium is 22.42 g/cm3, how many iridium atoms are present in the sample?
Let us start by computing for the volume of the cylinder. V = π(r^2)*h where r and h are the radius and height of the cylinder, respectively. Let's convert all given dimensions to cm first. Radius = 0.03 cm, height is 0.35cm long.
V = π * (0.03cm)^2 * 0.35 cm = 9.896*10^-4 cm^3
Now we have the volume of 192-Ir, let's use the density provided to get it's mass, and once we have the mass let's use the molar mass to get the amount of moles. After getting the amount of moles, we use Avogadro's number to convert moles into number of atoms. See the calculation below and see if all units "cancel":
9.896*10^-4 cm^3 * (22.42 g/cm3) * (1 mole / 191.963 g) * (6.022x10^23 atoms /mole)
= 6.96 x 10^19 atoms of Ir-122 are present.
Answer:
6 elements.
Explanation:
99.9% by weight of most living things is made of the six elements: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur (backwards using just the letter abbreviations this spells SPONCH).
