The radioactive element strontium-90 has a half-life of 28 years. suppose we start with a 50-g mass of strontium-90. how much will be left after 174 years? compute the answer to three significant digits.

7.71 grams

Explanation:

Half-life of strontium-90 = 28 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

Now we have to calculate the age of the sample:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,

k = rate constant  =

t = age of sample  = 174 years

a = initial amount of the reactant  = 50 g

a - x = amount left after decay process  = ?

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

Thus amount left after 174 years is 7.71 grams.

they are non-matter

explanation:

they are non-matter. basically, any type of energy or any abstract concept is an example of something that does not matter. other examples include dreams, magnetism, radio, and hate

compass can be used day and night, cloudy or sunny
