1 mole of iron-59 would mass 59 grams, so 0.133 picograms would be 0.133x10^-12 / 59 = 2.25x10^-15 moles of iron-59. Multiplying by Avogadro's number, we can determine the number of atoms of iron-59 we have, so: 2.25x10^-15 * 6.02214x10^23 = 1.35x10^9
Since we have 242 decays over a period of 1 second, we can divide the
number of atoms left by the original number of atoms
(1350000000 - 242)/1350000000
= 1349999758/1350000000
= 0.999999820740741
And calculate the logarithm to base 2 of that quotient.
ln(0.999999820740741)/ln(2)
= -1.79259275281191x10^-7/0.693147180559945
= -2.58616467481524x10^-7
The reciprocal of this number will be the half life in seconds. So
-1/2.58616467481524x10^-7
= -3866729.79388461
And dividing by 3600 (number of seconds in an hour) will give the half-life in
hours.
-3866729.79388461 / 3600 = -1074.091609
So the half life in hours to 3 significant figures is 1070 hours.
Dividing that figure by 24 gives a half life of 44.58 days which is in pretty close agreement to the official half-life of 44.495 days for iron-59.
Answer:
A safety pin
Explanation:
Rubber, plastic and food are all non-metals, meaning they are poor conductors of heat and electricity. However, safety pins are made up of steel - a metal - making them good conductors.
I think the correct answer is C
Answer:
2-
Explanation:
For an element to be stable, it must follow the octet rule: an atom will gain, lose or share electrons until its valence shell is complete with 8 electrons.
An element with the valence electron configuration ns²np⁴ has 6 (2+4) electrons in its valence shell. Thus, in order to fulfill the octet, it will gain 2 electrons. As a consequence, it will form an anion with charge 2-.
