The time taken for the isotope to decay is 46 million years.

We'll begin by calculating the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

  • Original amount (N₀) = 50.25 g
  • Amount remaining (N) = 16.75
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

2ⁿ = N₀ / N

2ⁿ = N₀ / N

2ⁿ = 50.25 / 16.75

2ⁿ = 3

Take the log of both side

Log 2ⁿ = 3

nLog 2 = Log 3

Divide both side by log 2

n = Log 3 / Log 2

n = 2

Finally, we shall determine the time.

  • Half-life (t½) = 23 million years
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 2
  • Time (t) =?

t = n × t½

t = 2  × 23

t = 46 million years

Answer:

Solid Osmium transition metal reacts with Oxygen gas to produce solid Osmium tetroxide.

Os(s) + 2O₂(g) -> OsO₄(s)

Explanation:

Osmium tetroxide is another way of writing Osmium (VIII) oxide.

Leaving powdered osmium exposed to air in a room will slowly create osmium tetroxide at room temperature.

Similarly, osmium tetroxide vapor will readily be released from a liquid solution at room temperature.

Romashka [77]

Larger molecules experience larger dispersion forces due to more distance of valance of electrons from the nucleus.

<h2>Cause of stronger dispersion force</h2>

Larger and heavier atoms and molecules have stronger dispersion forces than smaller and lighter ones because in a larger atom or molecule, the valence electrons are farther from the nuclei than in a smaller atom or molecule.

They are less tightly held to the nuclear charge present in the nucleus and can easily form temporary dipoles so we can conclude that larger molecules experience larger dispersion forces due to more distance of valance of electrons from the nucleus.
