A sample of a certain isotope has an initial activity of 40,000 cpm. After 24.8 days, the activity is 2500 cpm. What is the half

life of the isotope?
Chemistry

Hitman42 [59]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

6.2 days

Explanation:

initial activity = 40,000 cpm

one half-life = 20,000 cpm

two half-lives = 10,000 cpm

three half-lives= 5,000 cpm

four half-lives = 2500 cpm

24.8 days/4 half-lives = 6.2 days/ half-life

How many moles of atoms are in 7.00 g of 13c? express your answer numerically in moles?
Nadusha1986 [10]
Molar mass of 13c = 13 grams
number of moles = mass / molar mass
therefore,
number of moles = 7 / 13
To know the number of atoms in 7/13 moles, we simply multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number as follows:
number of atoms = (7/13) x 6.022 x 10^23 = 3.2426 x 10^23 atoms

Assuming 100% dissociation, calculate the freezing point and boiling point (in °C) of a solution with 83.6 g of AgNO 3 in 1.00 k
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

  • <u>Freezing point: - 1.83ºC</u>
  • <u>Boiling point: 100.50ºC</u>

Explanation:

The <em>freezing point</em> and<em> boiling point</em> of solvents, when a solute is added, will change accordingly to the concentration of the solute particles.

The freezing point will decrease and the boiling point will increase. These are two colligative properties.
