Thallium-207 decays exponentially with a half life of 4.5 minutes. if the initial amount of the isotope was 28 grams, how many g
Agata [3.3K]
An exponential decay law has the general form: A = Ao * e ^ (-kt) =>

A/Ao = e^(-kt)

Half-life time => A/Ao = 1/2, and t = 4.5 min

=> 1/2 = e^(-k*4.5) => ln(2) = 4.5k => k = ln(2) / 4.5 ≈ 0.154

Now replace the value of k, Ao = 28g  and t = 7 min to find how many grams of Thalium-207 will remain:

A = Ao e ^ (-kt) = 28 g * e ^( -0.154 * 7) = 9.5 g

Answer 9.5 g.

Volgvan

When 6.85×10⁵ cal is converted to kilojoules, the result obtained is 2866.04 KJ

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Energy (cal) = 6.85×10⁵ cal
  • Energy (KJ) =?

<h3>Conversion scale </h3>

1 cal = 0.004184 KJ

<h3>How to convert 6.85×10⁵ cal to kilojoules</h3>

1 cal = 0.004184 KJ

Therefore,

6.85×10⁵ cal = 6.85×10⁵ × 0.004184

6.85×10⁵ cal = 2866.04 KJ

Thus, 6.85×10⁵ cal is equivalent to 2866.04 KJ

Which color of light has the greatest energy
ozzi

Answer:

violet

Explanation:

Waves with a short wavelength have the most energy. Red waves have a relatively long wavelength (in the 700 nm range), and violet waves are much shorter - roughly half that. Because violet waves have the shortest wavelength of the visible light spectrum, they carry the most energy (google)
