Answer: a) 3.85 days
b) 10.54 days
Explanation:-
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = time taken for decomposition = 3 days
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
a - x = amount left after decay process =
First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
a) Half-life of radon-222:
Thus half-life of radon-222 is 3.85 days.
b) Time taken for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time taken for decomposition = ?
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
a - x = amount left after decay process =
Thus it will take 10.54 days for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount.
Answer:
v_average = 15 m / s
Explanation:
The average speed can be found in two ways,
* taking the distance traveled and divide it by the time spent
* taking the velocities in each time interval and then finding the weighted average by the time fraction
v_average = 1 / t_total ∑ vi ti
Let's apply this last equation
Total time is
t = t₁ + t₂
t = 10 + 10 = 20 min
v_average = 10/20 10 + 10/20 20
v_average = 10/2 + 20/2
v_average = 15 m / s
