g A radioactive isotope of mercury, 197Hg, decays to gold, 197Au, with a disintegration constant of 0.0108hrs.-1. What % of the

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

7.49% of Mercury

Explanation:

Let N₀ represent the original amount.

Let N represent the amount after 10 days.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Rate of disintegration (K) = 0.0108 h¯¹

Time (t) = 10 days

Percentage of Mercury remaining =?

Next, we shall convert 10 days to hours. This can be obtained as follow:

1 day = 24 h

Therefore,

10 days = 10 day × 24 h / 1 day

10 days = 240 h

Thus, 10 days is equivalent to 240 h.

Finally, we shall determine the percentage of Mercury remaining as follow:

Rate of disintegration (K) = 0.0108 h¯¹

Time (t) = 10 days

Percentage of Mercury remaining =?

Log (N₀/N) = kt /2.303

Log (N₀/N) = 0.0108 × 240 /2.303

Log (N₀/N) = 2.592 / 2.303

Log (N₀/N) = 1.1255

Take the anti log of 1.1255

N₀/N = anti log 1.1255

N₀/N = 13.3506

Invert the above expression

N/N₀ = 1/13.3506

N/N₀ = 0.0749

Multiply by 100 to express in percent.

N/N₀ = 0.0749 × 100

N/N₀ = 7.49%

Thus, 7.49% of Mercury will be remaining after 10 days

What is the mass, in grams, of a pure gold cube that has a volume of 4.30 cm3?

umka21 [38]

The density of a pure gold is 19.32g/cm3
if the volume is 4.30 cm3 then we can calculate the mass using the formula mass=density x volume
mass=19.32*4.30
mass=83.076g

Sound usually travels most rapidly in

Mariana [72]

Sounds travels most rapidly in solid objects, especially those that are dense. These objects have closely packed atoms, and energy that is traveling in vibrations (the sound) can easily pass between the touching atoms.

calcium reacts with fluorine to produce calcium fluoride. how does oxidation and reduction take place in this reaction?

Assoli18 [71]

The oxidation is occurring on Calcium ions as it release one electron and reduction will be occurring on fluorine ion as it accepts one electron.

Explanation:

An element will undergo oxidation and form a positive ion on releasing one or more electrons from its valence shell. While reduction is occurred in a chemical reaction, then the element will be forming a negative ion with the acceptance of one or more electrons in its valence shell.

So in the given process of calcium fluoride, the one electron from the valence shell of calcium will be released making it as $c a^{+}$ ions and this is termed as oxidation process. This one electron will be getting accepted by the fluorine ion and thus it will convert to $F^{-}$ ions. This process of acceptance of electrons is termed as reduction.
