1 gram of radium is reduced by 3.1 mg in 5 years by alpha decay.

Physics
1 answer:
Whitepunk [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1 gm = 1000 mg

N = No e^-y t       where y = lambda the decay constant

N / N0 = .9969

ln .9969 = - y t

-.00310 = - 5 y

y = .00310 / 5 = .000621

So the half-life = .693 / y

T^1/2 = .693 / .000621 = 1116 or about 1120 yrs

How do you know if an experimental result is acceptable or trustworthy? What gives you confidence that your data are trustworthy
Virty [35]

Explanation:

For an experimental result to be considered acceptable, all relevant variables involved in the experiment must be taken into account, by isolating it, performing it under controlled conditions and modifying the conditions under which it takes place. This, with the objective of excluding alternative explanations in the analisis of the experimental data. Therefore, if these steps are followed appropriately, experimental data are trustworthy. The reliability of the experiment increases when it is replicated by other researchers and the same results are obtained.
