The half-life of radium-226 is 1600 years. How many grams of a 0.25 g sample will remain after 4800 years?
this would be 0.03125 gram
Is this a multiple answer?
Changing the volume increases the area that the molecules collide with so the force is spread over a larger area.
Answer: This is true.
Explanation:
It is true because if becomes frozen, then it is physically harder to melt...
Answer:
100 g
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Original amount (N₀) = 400 g
Time (t) = 4 years
Half-life (t½) = 2 years
Amount remaining (N) =?
Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:
Time (t) = 4 years
Half-life (t½) = 2 years
Number of half-lives (n) =?
n = t / t½
n = 4 / 2
n = 2
Thus, 2 half-lives has elapsed.
Finally, we shall determine the amount remaining of the radioactive isotope. This can be obtained as follow:
Original amount (N₀) = 400 g
Number of half-lives (n) = 2
Amount remaining (N) =?
N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀
N = 1/2² × 400
N = 1/4 × 400
N = 0.25 × 400
N = 100 g
Thus, the amount of the radioactive isotope remaing is the 100 g.
