Indium-116 is radioactive and has a half life of 14.10 seconds. How long would it take a sample to decay from 7.70 mg to 900 µg.

Answer: 43.73 seconds

Explanation:

Half-life of indium = 14.10 sec

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_\frac{1}{2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{14.10}=0.0491sec^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the age of the sample:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  

t = age of sample = ?

a = initial amount of the reactant = 7.70 mg= 7700\mug  

 (1mg=1000\mug

a - x = amount left after decay process = 900\mug

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

 t=\frac{2.303}{0.0491}\log\frac{7700}{900}

t=43.73sec

Thus it would take 43.73 seconds sample to decay from 7.70 mg to 900 µg.

Would aluminum be as useful as food wrapping if it had a much lower melting point? Explain your answer.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The correct answers are as follows:

1. Aluminium will not be useful as food wrapping if it has a much lower melting point.

Aluminum is a metallic element that is malleable and soft, thus, it is easy to beat it into thin sheet, which are used to package food. The thin sheet is called aluminium foil. Aluminum is useful as a food wrapping because it has high temperature and thus, it does not react with food (the hotness of the packaged food is not capable of melting the metal). If the melting point of aluminium is lower, this implies that little temperature, such as the one from hot food will be able to melt aluminum foil, thus allowing the food to be contaminated with the metal.

2. When bleach react with fabric dye chemical change occur in the fabric.

The major element in bleach is chlorine. When laundry bleach is added to a fabric, the chlorine component of the bleach will react with the fabric dye and cause a colour change in the fabric. This type of change is called chemical change, because the original colour of the fabric can not be recovered.

3. Every substance has specific properties, which can be used to identify it. Two of such specific properties are melting point and boiling point. Melting point refers to a specific temperature at which a solid substance will melt while boiling point refers to a specific temperature at which a liquid substance will boil and turn to steam.

Water for instance has a boiling point of 100 degree Celsius. To find out if an unknown substance is water, one can determine the boiling point of such liquid. A boiling point of 100 degree Celsius will strongly signify that the substance is probably water. The same thing applies to melting point. If the specific boiling and melting point of substances are known, then they can be used to identify them.

Answer:

1. B, D,

2.A, F

Explanation:

1. According to the law of conservation of mass, In a course of chemical reaction, matter can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. This means the amount of matter at the begining and ending of a reaction must be thesame.

2. Chemical reaction is not easily reversible. when gas is produced, provided the reaction system is an open system, the gas cannot be recovered and the reactants cannot be recovered from the products. likewise color change are attributed to chemical reaction
