You have 300,000 atoms of a radioactive substance. After 3 half-lives have past, how many atoms remain? Remember that you cannot

have a fraction of an atom, so round the answer to the nearest whole number.

The number of atoms that remains after 3 half-lives given that it was originally 300000 atoms is 37500 atoms

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 300000 atoms
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 3
  • Amount remaining (N) =?

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining</h3>

The amount remaining after 3 half-lives can be obtained as illustrated below:

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 300000 / 2³

N = 300000 / 8

N = 37500 atoms

Should someone who lives on the sixth floor of an apartment building be concerned about radon in his or her apartment? Why or wh
torisob [31]

Answer:

The person should not be concerned about radon.

Explanation:

<em>A person living on the sixth floor of an aparment probably should not be concerned about radon</em>. In the conditions of the Earth's atmosphere (temperature and pressure), radon exists as a gas. This gas has a density that is approximately 8 times higher than the density of air (9.73 g/L compared to 1.22 g/L). <em>This means that radon gas would not rise, and instead remain close to the ground</em>, meaning that an apartment on a sixth floor is too far away from the ground for radon gas to reach there.

A gas being denser than air is also the reason why if you blow into a balloon, it will fall to the ground, because CO₂ is denser than air.

\large\boxed{\text{Water.}}

Looking at the information given in the description, the experiment is testing for the effects of the different salts on the growth of the plants.

This means that the type of salt is the independent variable,  or the variable being manipulated and tested.

To ensure fair results, some parts of the experiment would need to be kept the same, which is the control. The only answer choice that makes sense in this instance is A. water.

10 grams of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is dissolved in 0.25 liters of solution. Determine the molarity (M).
lozanna [386]

Answer:

1M

Explanation:

The molarity of a substance is defined as the number of moles of the substance divided by how many liters the solution is. NaOH has a molar mass of about 40 grams, meaning that 10 grams of it would be 0.25 moles. 0.25/0.25= a molarity of 1.

Hope this helps!
