What is a half-life of an isotope? please help

Chemistry
1 answer:
N76 [4]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello! Hope this helps!

One important measure of the rate at which a radioactive substance decays is called half-life, or t1/2. Half-life is the amount of time needed for one half of a given quantity of a substance to decay. Half-lives as short as 10–6 second and as long as 109 years are common.

1. The emission spectrum of mercury atoms has a bright green line with wavelength
SashulF [63]

Emission spectrum results from the movement of an electron from a higher to a lower energy level. The frequency of the photon is 5.5 * 10^14 Hz.

From the formula;

E = hc/λ

h = Plank's constant =6.6 * 10^-34 Js

c = speed of light=  3 * 10^8

λ = wavelength = 546.1 * 10^-9 m

E =  6.6 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8/546.1 * 10^-9

E =3.63 * 10^-19 J

Also;

E =hf

Where;

h = Planks's constant

f = frequency of photon

f = E/h

f = 3.63 * 10^-19 J/6.6 * 10^-34

f = 5.5 * 10^14 Hz

Opal is a hydrated form of silica. If a laboratory analysis of a sample of opal reveals it to contain29.2% Si, 33.3%O, and 37.5%
ZanzabumX [31]
Let us assume that there is a 100g sample of Opal. The masses of each element will be:
29.2g Si
33.3g O
37.5g H2O
Now we divide each constituent's mass by its Mr to get the moles present
Si: (29.2 / 28) = 1.04
O: (33.3 / 16) = 2.08
H2O: (37.5 / 18) = 2.08
Now we divide by the smallest number and obtain:
Si: 1
O: 2
H2O: 2
Thus, the empirical formula of Opal is:
SiO2 . 2H2O
