The half-life in months of a radioactive element that reduce to 5.00% of its initial mass in 500.0 years is approximately 1389 months

To solve this question, we'll begin by calculating the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

Amount remaining (N) = 5%

Original amount (N₀) = 100%

<h3>Number of half-lives (n) =?</h3>

N₀ × 2ⁿ = N  

5 × 2ⁿ = 100

2ⁿ = 100/5

2ⁿ = 20

Take the log of both side

Log 2ⁿ = log 20

nlog 2 = log 20

Divide both side by log 2

n = log 20 / log 2

<h3>n = 4.32</h3>

Thus, 4.32 half-lives gas elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the half-life of the element. This can be obtained as follow.

Number of half-lives (n) = 4.32

Time (t) = 500 years

<h3>Half-life (t½) =? </h3>

t½ = t / n

t½ = 500 / 4.32

t½ = 115.74 years

Multiply by 12 to express in months

t½ = 115.74 × 12

<h3>t½ ≈ 1389 months </h3>

Therefore, the half-life of the radioactive element in months is approximately 1389 months

Plz i wanna those answers click on the photo to see all the question they are 2 queastions part A and B
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

a.

Turn paper Blue - these are alkaline/ base substances.

  • Toothpaste
  • Soap
  • Bleach

Turn paper Red - these substances are acidic in nature.

  • Lemon Juice
  • Vinegar
  • Cola drink

b. i. A wasp sting - Lemon juice

ii. A bee sting - Toothpaste

iii. A wasp sting is alkaline which means that running an acidic substance like lemon or lemon juice on it should neutralize it.

A bee sting is acidic so an alkaline substance such as toothpaste should neutralize it as well.
