The amount remaining at the end of 5 half-lives is 7.81×10¹³ g

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Half-life (t½) = 5730 years
  • Original amount (N₀) = 2.5×10¹⁵ g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 5
  • Amount remaining (N) =?

The amount remaining can be obtained as follow:

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2⁵ × 2.5×10¹⁵

N = 1/32 × 2.5×10¹⁵

N = 0.03125 × 2.5×10¹⁵

N = 7.81×10¹³ g

Therefore, the amount remaining after 5 half-lives is 7.81×10¹³ g

Calculate the energy, in joules, required to ionize a hydrogen atom when its electron is initially in the n =2 energy level. The
qaws [65]

Answer:

E_{ionization}=5.45\times 10^{-19}\ J

Explanation:

E_n=-2.18\times 10^{-18}\times \frac{1}{n^2}\ Joules

For transitions:

Energy\ Difference,\ \Delta E= E_f-E_i =-2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_f^2}-\frac{1}{n_i^2})\ J=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2})\ J

\Delta E=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2})\ J

So, n_i=2 and n_f=\infty (As the hydrogen has to ionize)

Thus,

\Delta E=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{2^2} - \dfrac{1}{{\infty}^2})\ J

\Delta E=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{2^2})\ J

E_{ionization}=5.45\times 10^{-19}\ J

What is the difference between the mass number for carbon- 14 and carbon's atomic number of 12.011 amu
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Great question, but I believe you are mixing up atomic number with mass number. Assuming you are, 12.011 amu is the average mass of a carbon atom. For carbon, it can come in three forms: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14. The number following carbon is the mass number of that particular carbon "isotope". The reason the average is so close to 12 is because carbon-12 is by far the most common, so the average should be (and is) very close to 12. Therefore, 12.011 is a weighted average of all carbon molecules, and carbon-14 is a particular carbon molecule that weighs 14 amu.
