From the calculations, the half life of the material is 6.5 days.
<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>
The term radioactivity has to do with the spontaneous disintegration of a specie.
Uisng the formula;
N=Noe^-kt
N= amount at time t = 0.135 Ci or 4.995 ×10^9 Bq
No = amount initially present = 1.75 x 10^12 Bq
k = rate constant = ?
t = time taken = 55 days
Hence;
4.995 ×10^9 = 1.75 x 10^12e^-55k
4.995 ×10^9/1.75 x 10^12 = e^-55k
2.85 * 10^-3 = e^-55k
ln2.85 * 10^-3 = -55k
k = ln2.85 * 10^-3/-55
k = 0.1066 day-1
Half life = 0.693/ 0.1066 day-1
= 6.5 days

A chemical reaction that removes electrons from an atom is called "O<span>xidation".
The term came from late 18th century from French.
When the electrons are removed from an atom it increase its valence.</span>
Answer:
25.35%
Explanation:
Again let me restate the the equation of the reaction;
H2O (ℓ) + 2 MnO4 - (aq) + 3 CN- (aq) → 2 MnO2 (s) + 3 CNO- (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)
Amount of potassium permanganate reacted = 10.2/1000 * 0.08035 = 8.1957 * 10^-4 moles
If 2 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 3 moles of CN-
8.1957 * 10^-4 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 8.1957 * 10^-4 * 3/2
= 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN-
Mass of CN- reacted = 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN- * 26.02 g/mol
= 0.03 g
Hence, percentage of the cyanide = 0.03 g/0.1183 g * 100
= 25.35%
<span>There
are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes
molarity. Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of
the solution. So, we calculate as follows:
Molarity = 15.9 g BaCl2 ( 1 mol / 208.23 g ) / .375 L = 0.204 mol / L</span>
