How much radium-226 will remain from a 20 gram sample after 4800 years?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ra1l [238]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

2.5 g mass of Ra-226 will remain after 4800 years.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Ra-226 = 20 g

Sample remain after 4800 years = ?

Solution:

Half life of Ra-226 = 1600 years

Number of half lives passed = T elapsed / half life

Number of half lives passed = 4800 year / 1600 year

Number of half lives passed = 3

At time zero = 20 g

At first half life = 20 g/2 = 10 g

At 2nd half life = 10 g/2 = 5 g

At 3rd half life = 5 g/2 = 2.5 g

Thus, 2.5 g mass of Ra-226 will remain after 4800 years.

What did Rutherford’s scattering experiment reveal about the structure of atoms?
Stels [109]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

This experiment by Rutherford involved the firing of alpha particles at gold foils. It is also. called the gold foil experiment.

He fired these alpha particles at different points. He noticed that at some points, there were deflections, while at some other points, there were no deflections. It is necessary to state that these alpha particles are positively charged. For there to be a deflection, there must have been a kind of repulsion between the gold foil and the alpha particles.

From the basic physics of like repels like, he knew for sure that there must be dense positive core in the atom that is causing the deflection of the alpha particles. This enabled him to come up with the theory that the atom contained a small dense positive core called the nucleus
