Iodine-131 half life 8.040 how long will it take for a 40 gram sample of iodine-131 to decay to 0.75 grams

Chemistry

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

To get this, we need to apply the general expression for half life decay:

N = N₀e(-λt)    (1)

Where:

N and N₀ would be the final and innitial quantities, in this case, masses.

t: time required to decay

λ: factor related to half life

From the above expression we need λ and t. To get λ we use the following expression:

λ = t₁₂/ln2   (2)

And we have the value of half life, so, replacing we have:

λ = 8.04 / ln2 = 11.6

Now, we can replace in (1) and then, solve for t:

0.75 = 40 exp(-11.6t)

0.75 / 40 = exp(-11.6t)

ln(0.01875) = -11.6t

-3.9766 = -11.6t

t = -3.9766 / -11.6

<h2>t = 0.34 days</h2><h2></h2>

A student is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. He weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a
Nata [24]

Answer:

There are present 5,5668 moles of water per mole of CuSO₄.

Explanation:

The mass of CuSO₄ anhydrous is:

23,403g - 22,652g = 0,751g.

mass of crucible+lid+CuSO₄ - mass of crucible+lid

As molar mass of CuSO₄ is 159,609g/mol. The moles are:

0,751g ×\frac{1mol}{159,609g} = 4,7052x10⁻³ moles CuSO₄

Now, the mass of water present in the initial sample is:

23,875g - 0,751g - 22,652g = 0,472g.

mass of crucible+lid+CuSO₄hydrate - CuSO₄ - mass of crucible+lid

As molar mass of H₂O is 18,02g/mol. The moles are:

0,472g ×\frac{1mol}{18,02g} = 2,6193x10⁻² moles H₂O

The ratio of moles H₂O:CuSO₄ is:

2,6193x10⁻² moles H₂O / 4,7052x10⁻³ moles CuSO₄ = 5,5668

That means that you have <em>5,5668 moles of water per mole of CuSO₄.</em>

I hope it helps!

Most radiation is released as particles. Identify the type radiation that is not a particle.
Blizzard [7]

Gamma rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays is a form of electromagnetic radiation. It has zero mass and no charge.

Most radiations are particles but gamma rays are not particles they are mere rays.

  • They have an energy range between 10KeV and 3Mev
  • The range of gamma rays is not definite but it is very long.
  • The intensity of gamma rays for any medium decreases exponentially from the source.
  • Gamma rays are ionizing radiations
