1. The half-life of 2211Na is 950 days. What is its decay constant? Express your answer in s?1.
2.The isotope 8737Rb decays by beta emission. What nucleus is produced?
(1) Given half life , T1/2 = 950 days
= 950 day x 24 (hr/day) x 60 ( min/hr) x 60 (s/min )
= 82.08x10 6 s
Decay constant ,
(2) While balancing the nuclear reaction , the sum of the atomic numbers of the reactants is equal to the sum of the atomic numbers of the products.
Similarly the sum of the atomic masses of the reactants is equal to the sum of the atomic masses of the products.
beta particle
So the nucleus produced is Stronsium nucleus with atomic number 38 & atomic mass 87.

The half-life of 82 35Br is 1.471 days. This isotope decays by the emission of a beta particle. a Gaseous HBr is made with Br-82. When the bromine isotope decays, the HBr produces H2 and the bromine decay product. Write a balanced equation for the decay of Br-82. Now, write a balanced equation for the decomposition of H82Br. b If a pure sample of 0.0150 mol of HBr made entirely with Br-82 is placed in an evacuated 1.00-L flask, how...
