The general equation for radioactive decay is;
N = N₀e^(-λt)
x - decay constant (λ) - rate of decay
t- time
N - amount remaining after t days , since we are calculating the half life, amount of time it takes for the substance to to be half its original value, its N₀/2
N₀ - amount initially present
substituting the values
N₀/2 = N₀e^(-0.081t)
0.5 = e^(-0.081t)
ln (0.5) = -0.081t
-0.693 = -0.081t
t = 0.693 / 0.081
= 8.55
half life of substance is 8.55 days
Answer:
radiation and conduction
Explanation:
During a warm summer day, a car became extremely hot. When a student went to open the car door, he burned his fingers. What two forms of energy were responsible for the student burning his fingers?
Solution:
Heat is the transfer of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object. For heat transfer to occur, there have to be a difference in temperature between two objects.
Heat can be transferred in three ways: by conduction, by convection, and by radiation.
Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between bodies through direct contact. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of heat in a liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through thermal emission by electromagnetic waves.
During a warm summer day, The sun makes the car to become hot through energy transfer from the sun to the car. When the student touch the car, there is heat transfer as a result of conduction.
Answer:
the radius is half the diameter
Al is the reducing agent.That is answer B is the above answer
Al acts as a strong reducing agent. It reduces crO3 to form cr while Al is oxidized to Al2O3. Al is capable to reduce cr since Al is higher in reactivity series than cr.
