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

Most chemical reactions involve the evolution or absorption of heat energy. True or False
sergejj [24]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The majority of the reactions happened with a flow of heat. When there's no heat, the reaction is adiabatic.

For no adiabatic reactions, the heat can be released (evolution) by the system, so the reaction will be exothermic, or absorbed by the system (absorption), then the reaction is called endothermic.
