8 0

<em>In toxicology, the median lethal dose, LD₅₀, LC₅₀ or LCt₅₀ is a measure of the lethal dose of a toxin, radiation, or pathogen. The value of LD₅₀ for a substance is the dose required to kill half the members of a tested population after a specified test duration.</em>

Flourine is found to undergo 10% radioactivity decay in 366 minutes determine its halflife

yuradex [85]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{2408 min}}$

Explanation:

The integrated rate law for radioactive decay is

$\ln\dfrac{N_{0}}{N_{t}} = kt$

1. Calculate the decay constant

$\begin{array}{rcl}\ln \dfrac{100}{90} & = & k \times 366\\\\1.054 & = & 366k\\\\k & = & \dfrac{1.054 }{366}\\\\k & = & 2.879 \times 10^{-4} \text{ min}^{-1}\\\end{array}\\\\$

2. Calculate the half-life

$t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{\ln2}{k}\\\\t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{\ln2}{2.879 \times 10^{-4} \text{ min}^{-1}} = \text{2408 min}\\\\\text{The half-life for decay is } \boxed{\textbf{2408 min}}$

128.3 grams of methane (CH4) is equal to how many moles of methane

Neko [114]

About 8.0 moles of methane.Number of moles = MassMolar mass.

And thus we get the quotient:

128.3⋅g16.04⋅g⋅mol−1=8.0⋅moles of methane.

Note that the expression is dimensionally consistent, we wanted an answer in moles, and the quotients gives, 1mol−1=11mol=mol as required.
