Chapter 10, Problem 10.50P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The amount of each isotope present after 14 days needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Half-life − It is the time required by original radioactive element to reduce to the half of its initial concentration. Thus, at half-life ( t1/2 )

  Concentration of reactant= Initial concentration2

The decay of the radioactive element can be described by the following formula-

  N(t)=N0(12)tt 1/2

Where

N(t) − amount of reactant at time t

N0 − Initial concentration of the reactant

t1/2 − Half-life of the decaying reactant

Answer to Problem 10.50P

After 14.0 days,

Amount of Iodine-131 left = 62 mg

Amount of Xenon-131 formed = 62 mg

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

N0 = 124 mg

t1/2 = 14 days

Calculation:

After 14.0 days, the initial concentration of phosphorus-32 reduces to half of its initial concentration and converts to sulfur-32.

Thus,

  N(t=14.0 days)=N02=124 mg2N(t=14.0 days)=62 mg

Hence,

Amount of phosphorus-32 left = 62 mg

Amount of sulfur-32 formed = 124 mg − 62 mg = 62 mg

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The amount of each isotope present after 28 days needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Half-life − It is the time required by original radioactive element to reduce to the half of its initial concentration. Thus, at half-life ( t1/2 )

  Concentration of reactant= Initial concentration2

The decay of the radioactive element can be described by the following formula-

  N(t)=N0(12)tt 1/2

Where

N(t) − amount of reactant at time t

N0 − Initial concentration of the reactant

t1/2 − Half-life of the decaying reactant

Answer to Problem 10.50P

After 28.0 days,

Amount of Phosphorus-32 left = 32 mg

Amount of Sulfur-32 formed = 92 mg

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

N0 = 124 mg

t1/2 = 14 days

t = 28.0 days

Calculation:

After 28 days, amount of phosphorus-32 would be defined by N(t),where t is 28.0 days, as

  N(t)=N0(12)t t 1/2 N(t)=(124 mg) (12) 28.0 days 14.0 daysN(t)=(124 mg) (12)2N(t)=(124 mg) (14)N(t)=32 mg

Hence, the amount of phosphorus-32 decays and converts to sulfur-32. Therefore,

Amount of Phosphorus-32 left after 28.0 days = 32 mg

Amount of sulfur-32 formed after 28.0 days = 124 mg − 32 mg = 92 mg

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The amount of each isotope present after 42 days needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Half-life − It is the time required by original radioactive element to reduce to the half of its initial concentration. Thus, at half-life ( t1/2 )

  Concentration of reactant= Initial concentration2

The decay of the radioactive element can be described by the following formula- N(t)=N0(12)tt 1/2

Where

N(t) − amount of reactant at time t

N0 − Initial concentration of the reactant

t1/2 − Half-life of the decaying reactant

Answer to Problem 10.50P

After 42.0 days,

Amount of Phosphorus-32 left = 15.5 mg

Amount of Sulfur-32 formed = 108.5 mg

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

N0 = 124 mg

t1/2 = 14 days

t = 42.0 days

Calculation:

After42 days, amount of phosphorus-32 would be defined by N(t),where t is 42.0 days, as

   N(t)= N 0 ( 1 2 ) t t 1/2

   N(t)=(124 mg)  ( 1 2 ) 42.0 days 14.0 days

   N(t)=(124 mg)  ( 1 2 ) 3

   N(t)=(124 mg) ( 1 8 )

   N(t)=15.5 mg

Hence, the amount of phosphorus-32 decays and converts to sulfur-32. Therefore,

Amount of Phosphorus-32 left after 42.0 days = 15.5 mg

Amount of sulfur-32 formed after 42.0 days = 124 mg − 15.5 mg = 108.5 mg

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The amount of each isotope present after 56 days needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Half-life − It is the time required by original radioactive element to reduce to the half of its initial concentration. Thus, at half-life ( t1/2 )

  Concentration of reactant= Initial concentration2

The decay of the radioactive element can be described by the following formula-

  N(t)=N0(12)tt 1/2

Where

N(t) − amount of reactant at time t

N0 − Initial concentration of the reactant

t1/2 − Half-life of the decaying reactant

Answer to Problem 10.50P

After 56.0 days,

Amount of Phosphorus-32 left = 7.75 mg

Amount of Sulfur-32 formed = 116.25 mg

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

N0 = 124 mg

t1/2 = 14 days

t = 56.0 days

Calculation:

After 56 days, amount of phosphorus-32 would be defined by N(t),where t is 56.0 days, as

   N(t)= N 0 ( 1 2 ) t t 1/2

   N(t)=(124 mg)  ( 1 2 ) 56.0 days 14.0 days

   N(t)=(124 mg)  ( 1 2 ) 4

   N(t)=(124 mg) ( 1 16 )

   N(t)=7.75 mg

Hence, the amount of phosphorus-32 decays and converts to sulfur-32. Therefore,

Amount of Phosphorus-32 left after 56.0 days = 7.75 mg

Amount of sulfur-32 formed after 56.0 days = 124 mg − 7.75 mg =116.25 mg
