Answer:
4.4×10⁻⁷ Coulomb
Explanation:
V = Voltage = 5.8 kV
d = Potential distance = 2.8 mm = 0.0028 m
A = Area = 0.3×0.08 = 0.024 m²
ε₀ = permittivity constant in a Vacuum= 8.85×10⁻¹² F/m
Magnitude of charge transferred between a carpet and a shoe is 4.4×10⁻⁷ Coulomb.
Answer: a) 3.85 days
b) 10.54 days
Explanation:-
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = time taken for decomposition = 3 days
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
a - x = amount left after decay process =
First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
a) Half-life of radon-222:
Thus half-life of radon-222 is 3.85 days.
b) Time taken for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time taken for decomposition = ?
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
a - x = amount left after decay process =
Thus it will take 10.54 days for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount.
