Does anyone know how calculate half-lives in chemistry that can help me ? Please and thank you if so msg me thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when t=t(1/2): A=A initial/2 for 1 order: t(1/2)=0.693/k.

OpenStudy (prettym):

what is the half-life of the new isotope ? and how much of the sample had decayed after 8 minutes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess its 4 mins nd 0.9 gms

OpenStudy (prettym):

I tried doing one but idk if its correct can you check it for me ?

OpenStudy (prettym):

I tried doing these two on my own . I'm not sure if its correct though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is some hard shiii (t)

OpenStudy (prettym):

what about this . Identify the structure below ? I thought it was cyclopropane but not sure am I right ? Need Help thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your right its cyclo

OpenStudy (prettym):

Really ? .. thanks

OpenStudy (prettym):

any second opinion by anyone else ?on the above questions ?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Wait wait wait. |dw:1373483682557:dw| is just propane.

OpenStudy (frostbite):

cyclopropane: |dw:1373483705110:dw|

OpenStudy (prettym):

OOOOOO ok . I see the difference . thank you . Do you understand any of the above questions ?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

You mean the half-life one?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

What differential equation are you solving in order to derive that decay law?

OpenStudy (prettym):

Krissy I really don't know how to calculate it. That's all they gave me . & Frostbite everything that I post is the only thing they gave me to work with .

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Well more easy to handle each question separately: I start by describing some terms: The radioactive decay law: An exponential function law that describe how the amount of atoms well be removed as a function of the time due to radioactive decay: Half-life: A exponential function has a time called the half-life. The half-lige is a measure of how long time there will go before 50% of the atoms have decayed. If I had to draw it: |dw:1373484408382:dw|
