A sample contains 2.2 g of the radioisotope niobium-91 and 15.4 g of its daughter isotope, zirconium-91. how many half-lives hav

dybincka [34]

Answer: 3

Explanation: This is a radioactive decay and all the radioactive process follows first order kinetics.

Equation for the reaction of decay of $_{19}^{40}\textrm{K}$ radioisotope follows:

$Moles of zirconium=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{15.4}{91}=0.17moles$

$Moles of niobium=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{2.2}{91}=0.024moles$

$_{41}^{91}\textrm{Nb}\rightarrow _{40}^{91}\textrm{Zr}+_{+1}^0e$

By the stoichiometry of above reaction,

1 mole of $_{40}^{91}\textrm{Zr}$ is produced by 1 mole $_{41}^{91}\textrm{Nb}$

So, 0.17 moles of $_{40}^{91}\textrm{Zr}$ will be produced by = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.17=0.17\text{ moles of }_{40}^{91}\textrm{Nb}$

Amount of $_{82}^{212}\textrm{K}$

decomposed will be = 0.17 moles

Initial amount of $_{40}^{91}\textrm{Nb}$ will be = Amount decomposed + Amount left = (0.17 + 0.024)moles =0.194 moles

$a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}$

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives = 0.024

$a_o$ = Initial amount of the reactant = 0.194

n = number of half lives= ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.024=\frac{0.194}{2^n}$

$n=3$

Therefore, 3 half lives have passed.

What properties of metals are explained by its mobile electrons? Strength, malleability, ductility, heat conduction, current con

earnstyle [38]

Due to the presence of mobile or moving electrons in an atom they are good conductor of heat and electricity. Thus, the heat conduction and current conduction properties of metals are explained by its mobile electrons.

The other mentioned properties of metal are strength which can be explained by type of bonding within the metals, malleability explains the tendency of metals to be flattened into thin sheets, ductility explains the tendency to be stretched into wires, luster means the surface of metal is shiny and opacity is measure of impermeability that is to what extent they can pass light through them, metals are opaque, can not pass light through them or they are not transparent . All these properties are not because of mobile electrons in metals.

Therefore, correct properties are heat conduction and current conduction.

A running track measures 1056 ft per lap. To run 15.0 km, how many laps should you run?

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

46.6 laps

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Length of the lap (l): 1056 ft

Total distance to be run (d): 15.0 km

Step 2: Convert "l" to km

We will use the conversion factor 1 km = 3280.84 ft.

1056 ft × (1 km / 3280.84 ft) = 0.3219 km

Step 3: Calculate the number of laps that you should run

We will use the following expression.

laps = d/l

laps = 15.0 km/(0.3219 km/lap)

laps = 46.6 laps
