A sample of fluorine-18 is found to have an activity of 980 disintegrations per second (dps). After 8.0 hours the activity has decreased to 45 dps. What is the half-life, in years, for the decay of fluorine-18

For the following, determine the type of reaction and then give products.

Ase your answer to this question on the information below.hydrocarbons and fissionable nuclei are among the sources used for the production of energy in the united states. a chemical reaction produces much less energy than a nuclear reaction per mole of reactant.the balanced chemical equation below represents the reaction of one molecule of a hydrocarbon with two molecules of oxygen.chemical equation: ch4 + 2o2 → co2 + 2h2o + 1.48 × 10−18 jthe nuclear equation below represents one of the many possible reactions for one fissionable nucleus. in this equation, x represents a missing product.nuclear equation: write an isotopic notation for the missing product represented by x in the nuclear equation.
