Answer:
3.67 mol Cl
Explanation:
We need to convert g of Cl 2 to moles of Cl. First we divide 130 gCl2 by the molar mass (70.90 gCl2/mol) to find out how many moles of Cl2 do we have.
130 gCl2 x = 1.83 mol Cl2
Then we need to convert 1.83 mol de Cl2 to moles of Cl. We have 2 moles of Cl in every Cl2 molecule so we just need to multiply by 2.
1.83 molCl2 x = 3.67 molCl
It will take 5.2 years to decay.
The half life of cobalt-60 is 5.2 years. The half life is the time taken for the mass of the substance to decrease by a half.
here, the amount of remaining substance is 50%,
so,
n. log (0.5) = log (0.5)
n = 1
So it would take 1 half lives to decay this much, which is 1 x 5.2 which is 5.2 years.
what do you mean by radioactive decay ?
The process through which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy via radiation is known as radioactive decay, also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration, or nuclear disintegration. A material that has unstable nuclei is considered as radioactive.
