A certain radioactive nuclide has a half life of 1.00 hour(s). Calculate the rate constant for this nuclide. s-1 Calculate the decay rate for 1.000 mole of this nuclide. decays s-1

k= 1.925×10^-4 s^-1

1.2 ×10^20 atoms/s

Explanation:

From the information provided;

t1/2=Half life= 1.00 hour or 3600 seconds

Then;

t1/2= 0.693/k

Where k= rate constant

k= 0.693/t1/2 = 0.693/3600

k= 1.925×10^-4 s^-1

Since 1 mole of the nuclide contains 6.02×10^23 atoms

Rate of decay= rate constant × number of atoms

Rate of decay = 1.925×10^-4 s^-1 ×6.02×10^23 atoms

Rate of decay= 1.2 ×10^20 atoms/s

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
