A50.0 mg sample of an unknown radioactive substance was placed in storage and its mass measured periodically. after 19.7 days, the amount of radioactive substance had decreased to 3.13 mg. what is the half-life of the unknown radioactive substance?

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the Radioactive Half Life Formula:

(1)

Where:

is the final amount of the material

is the initial amount of the material

is the time elapsed

is the half life of the material (the quantity we are asked to find)

Knowing this, let's substitute the values and find from (1):

(2)

(3)

Applying natural logarithm in both sides:

(4)

(5)

Clearing :

(6)

Finally:

  the unit of the measure =

explanation:

  the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one.

  si unit of energy = joule (j)

  si unit of temperature = kelvin (k)

  si unit of mass of material = kilogram (kg)

the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one is called specific heat.

the unit of specific heat is

as we probably am aware that our atmosphere or air have various levels, each level has different gasses, and each gas has another porousness. at the point when the light originates from lower porousness to higher penetrability, it alters its course. with the goal that implies that when the light originates from the moon to the earth, it alters it's course a lot more occasions. it essentially implies that the state of the light piece of the moon is changed on the earth.
