The volume of hydrogen gas that evolved is calculated as follows
by use of ideal gas equation
that is PV = nRT
P=745 mm hg
V= ?
R(gas constant)= 62.36 L.mm hg/mol.k
T= 20 + 273 = 293 k
n=number of moles which is calculated as follows
find the moles of Na used
= 0.52/23=0.023 moles
write the reacting equation
2Na +2H2O =2NaOH +H2
by use of reacting ratio between Na : H2 which is 2:1 therefore the mole of H2 = 0.023/2 =0.0115 moles
by making the volume the subject of the formula
v=nRT/P
V= (0.0115 x 62.36 x 293) / 745 = 0.283 L
It will take less 1.8 seconds for the mass of a sample of magnesium-20 to decay from 65.6 micrograms to 8.20 micrograms.
<h3>What is Half-Life of radioactive a radioactive substance?</h3>
The half-life of a radioactive element is the time for half the amount of a sample of the substance to decay.
After 0.6 seconds 31.25 remains
After 1.2 seconds, 15.625 remains
After 1.8 seconds, 7.9 micrograms remains.
In conclusion, it will take less 1.8 seconds for the sample to decay to 8.20 micrograms.
