Hi !!
Please help me solve this questions
1. After 38 days, all that is left of a 50g sample of an isotope is 0.0488 g. Which isotope is this?
(graph 1)
2. How many more years will it take to have 0.625 grams of strontium-90
(graph 2)
True or false
1. A radioactive alkaline earth metal belongs to group 8A of the periodic table after emitting an alpha radiation.

Respuesta :

The radioactive decay follows first order kinetics

The integrated rate law expression for first order rate is

ln(A / At) = kt

Where A= initial concentration

At=concentration at time "t"

t = time

K= rate constant

ln(50 / 0.0488) = k X 38

Therefore

K = 0.1824 day-1

The relation between rate constant and half life is

So half life = 0.693 / 0.1824 = 3.8 days

So isotope must be Radon-222
