Answer is: decay constant for uranium-238 is 1,54·10⁻¹⁰ 1/y.
<span>The half-life for the radioactive decay of U-238 is 4.5 billion years and is independent of initial concentration.
</span>t1/2 = 4.5·10⁹ y.
λ = 0,693 ÷ t1/2.
λ= 0,693 ÷ 4.5·10⁹ y.
λ = 1,54·10⁻¹⁰ 1/y.
λ - decay constant.
Decay constant is <span>proportionality between the size of a number of radioactive atoms (in this example uranium) and the rate at which the number of radioactive uranium atoms decreases because of </span>radioactive decay<span>. </span>

Fill in the blanks to complete the table
aleksandrvk [35]

The atomic number(Z) is equal to the number of protons to equal to number of electrons.

The number of neutrons is equal to atomic mass minus the atomic number

n=A-Z

For Zn^2+, Z=28, e=28

For iron, Z=25,A=55

The number of neutrons is 55-25=30

The charge is zero

For O^2-, Z=8+2=10, n=p=10

The number of neutrons is 16-10=6

For sulfur, Z=16,A=34

For S2-, Z=16+2=18, A=34

The charge is 2-

  • The atomic number is the basis of the periodic table.
  • It is equal to the number of protons.
  • The number of neutrons is atomic mass minus atomic number.

Is the law of conservative mass observed in this equation CaCO3 + 2HCI --&gt;CaCI2 +H2O + CO2
pychu [463]

Answer:

The law is observed in the given equation.

Explanation:

CaCO₃ + 2HCI → CaCI₂ +H₂O + CO₂

In order to find out if the law of conservative mass is followed, we need to <u>count how many atoms of each element are there in both sides of the equation</u>:

  • Ca ⇒ 1 on the left, 1 on the right.
  • C ⇒ 1 on the left, 1 on the right.
  • O ⇒ 3 on the left, 3 on the right.
  • H ⇒ 2 on the left, 2 on the right.
  • Cl ⇒ 2 on the left, 2 on the right.

As the numbers for all elements involved are the same, the law is observed in the given equation.

An element with a mass number of 11 and an atomic number of 5 has how many<br> neutrons?
Goryan [66]

Answer:

6 neutrons

Explanation:

6 neutrons

Boron having an atomic number of 5 means that it will have 5 protons. 11 atomic mass units in total. Neutrons also have a atomic mass unit of 1. So there are 6 neutrons
