To solve this, we can use two equations.
t1/2 = ln 2 / λ = 0.693 / λ
where, t1/2 is half-life and λ is the decay constant.
t1/2 = 10 min = 0.693 / λ
Hence, λ = 0.693 / 10 min - (1)
Nt = Nο e∧(-λt)
Nt = amount of atoms at t =t time
Nο= initial amount of atoms
t = time taken
by rearranging the equation,
Nt/Nο = e∧(-λt) - (2)
From (1) and (2),
Nt/Nο = e∧(-(0.693 / 10 min) x 20 min)
Nt/Nο = 0.2500
Percentage of remaining nuclei = (nuclei at t time / initial nuclei) x 100%
= (Nt/Nο ) x 100%
= 0.2500 x 100%
= 25.00%
Hence, Percentage of remaining nuclei is 25.00%
Energy lost to condense = 803.4 kJ
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Condensation of steam through 2 stages:
1. phase change(steam to water)
2. cool down(100 to 0 C)
1. phase change(condensation)
Lv==latent heat of vaporization for water=2260 J/g
2. cool down
c=specific heat for water=4.18 J/g C
Total heat =
The turbine since the definition of this word is <span> a machine for producing continuous power in which a wheel or rotor, typically fitted with vanes, is made to revolve by a fast-moving flow of water, steam, gas, air, or other fluid. </span>
In my opinion yes, as of now, almost anyone could get there hands on lets say an explosive. Have you heard of dynamite fishing? It is illegal, but it is still done once people have access to dynamite, then what ends up happening not only do marine wildlife get killed but it pollutes the water and lessens the chance of the natural cycle of life. Also there are several other factors, firstly, what will you do with an explosive once you get your hands on it? Perhaps you could just use an explosive for fun/personal entertainment...that isn't right and it could harm people. So, to conclude the harder it is for people to access explosives or even acclerants the better...and to add this can be possible by making people get like some sort of licence to use them, and let them be trained in certain conditions so that there is no regrets once they have access to them. I know my idea sounds far fetched but its a thought!
