The half-life of nitrogen-13 is 10.0 minutes. if you begin with 53.3 mg of this isotope, what mass remains after 25.9 minutes have passed?

Hello!

The half-life is the time of half-disintegration, it is the time in which half of the atoms of an isotope disintegrate.

We have the following data:

mo (initial mass) = 53.3 mg

m (final mass after time T) = ? (in mg)

x (number of periods elapsed) = ?

P (Half-life) = 10.0 minutes

T (Elapsed time for sample reduction) = 25.9 minutes

Let's find the number of periods elapsed (x), let us see:

Now, let's find the final mass (m) of this isotope after the elapsed time, let's see:

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)

1. 1 mole of anything contains 6.022x10^23 pieces  

d  

2. a  

3. c, number  

5. 1.24x10^24atoms / 6.022x10^23atoms/mole = 2moles h2 atoms  

6. fe2br3 mass = 2moles x mass fe + 3 moles x mass br  

molar mass = grams / number of moles = g/mole  

to find moles = g / molar mass  

to find mass = g = molar mass / moles
