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

5. Juan's car gets an average of 24 miles per gallon of gas. How far can Juan go on
shtirl [24]

Claim:  Earth's atmospheric CO2 levels were measured over the past 1000 years and correlated with average world temperatures.  The data demostrate that Earth's temperature did not change during the period CO2 levels were steady.  But the past 100 years show a dramatic rise in CO2 levels, with a corresponding rise in world temperatures.  The CO2 rise can be traced back to the start of the industrial revolution, when machines began doing much of the work.  These machine burn fossil fuels and the increased CO2 levels have led to a dramatic rise in world temperatures.  The data clearly show the importance of reducing fossil fuel useage, as well as other CO2 emitters.  A world of incresing temperatures will lead to greater natural disasters, such as storms, flooding, hurricanes, and drought - all of which upset the ecological balance of the planet.

Why is a balanced symbol equation better at describing the reaction than a word equation
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The advantages described below

Explanation:

Advantages of a balanced chemical equation versus word equation:

  • easier to read: chemical equations typically only take one line and they include all the relevant information needed. They are short-hand notations for what we describe in words.
  • balanced chemical equations show molar ratio in which reactants react and the molar ratio of the products. Those are coefficients in front of the species. This is typically not included in a word equation, for example, hydrochloric acid reacts with potassium hydroxide. The latter statement doesn't describe the molar ratio and stoichiometry.
  • includes relevant information, such as catalysts, temperature and pressure above the arrow in the equation. We wouldn't have this in a word equation most of the time.
  • shows the stoichiometry of each compound itself, e. g. if we state 'ammonia', we don't know what atoms it consists of as opposed to NH_3].
  • includes states of matter: aqueous, liquid, gas, solid. This would often be included in a word equation, however.
