What is the half-life of a 12 g sample of radioisotope that decayed to 6 g in 28

Chemistry
1 answer:
Charra [1.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A. 28 years

Explanation:

Applying,

R = R'(2ᵃ/ⁿ).............. Equation 1

Where R = Original sample, R' = Sample left after decay, a = Total time taken to decay, n = half life.

From the question,

Given: R = 12 g, R' = 6 g, a = 28 years.

Substitute into equation 1 and solve for n

12 = 6(2²⁸/ⁿ)

12/6 = 2²⁸/ⁿ

2²⁸/ⁿ = 2

Equation the base,

28/n = 1

n = 28 years.

Hence the half-life is 28 years

Which aqueous solution has the highest boiling point?a. 0.20 M NaClb. 0.10 M CaCl2c. 0.1 M Ga2(SO4)3d. 0.2 M C6H12O6
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

c. 0.1 M Ga₂(SO₄)₃

Explanation:

The boiling point increasing of a solvent due the addition of a solute follows the formula:

ΔT = K*m*i

<em>Where K is boiling point increasing constant (Depends of the solute), m is molality = molarity when solvent is water, and i is Van't Hoff factor.</em>

<em />

That means the option with the higher m*i will be the solution with the highest boiling point:

a. NaCl has i = 2 (NaCl dissociates in Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions).

m* i = 0.20*2 = 0.4

b. CaCl₂; i = 3. 3 ions.

m*i= 0.10M * 3 = 0.3

c. Ga₂(SO₄)₃ dissolves in 5 ions. i = 5

m*i = 0.10M*55 = 0.5

d. C₆H₁₂O₆ has i = 1:

m*i = 0.2M*1 = 0.2

The solution with highest boiling point is:

<h3>c. 0.1 M Ga₂(SO₄)₃</h3>

C) A football feels hard on a hot day but feels softer in the evening​
Mariana [72]

Answer: ^_^

Explanation:

its because during day time the ball becomes heated up and the air inside it try to come out as the heat air always try to go up swelling up the ball,

so in the evening when the air cools down the ball too cools down and air inside it also cools down making the ball feel soft,

Therefore, a football feels hard on a hot day but feels softer in the evening​

Hope it helped u,

pls mark as the brainliest

A gas quickly expands in an isolated environment. During the process, the gas exchanges no heat with its surroundings. The proce
AysviL [449]

Answer:

e. adiabatic process

Explanation:

Adiabatic process  -

In the thermodynamic system , an adiabatic process is the one which involves no transfer of mass or heat of the substance , is referred to adiabatic process.

In this process , the temperature need not be constant ,

But only the heat is transferred into or out of the system .

Hence, from the given information of the question,.

The correct option is e. adiabatic process .
