The number of atoms that remains after 2 half-lives given that it was originally 700,000 atoms is 175000 atoms.

<h3>What is a radioactive substance?</h3>

Radiation in the form of radiant particles or rays, is the result of a nuclear disintegration. Radioactive materials are atoms that have stored energy and may disintegrate in the future, releasing radiation.

Data obtained from the question

Original amount (N₀) = 700,000 atoms

Number of half-lives (n) = 2

Amount remaining (N) =?

How to determine the amount remaining

The amount remaining after 2 half-lives can be obtained as illustrated below:

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 700,000 / 4

N = 175000 atoms

Hence, 175000 atoms remain.

4. Energy can be conserved by -

mart [117]

Energy can be conserved by efficient energy use.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Energy can be transferred from one form to another, but it cannot be destroyed or created. So it can be conserved if efficiently used. Thus efficient usage of energy lead to conservation of energy. Due to conservation of energy, the forces can be renewable and non-renewable.

So, we should know how the input energy can be completely converted to another form of energy leading to efficient usage of energy without any loss. As if there is no loss, input energy will be equal to output energy leading to 100% efficiency.

A chemist needs 0.550 mol selenium for a reaction. What mass of selenium should a chemist use?

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The chemist would require to use 43.43 grams.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to know<u> how much do 0.550 moles of selenium weigh</u>. To do that we use selenium's<em> molar mass </em>and multiply it by the given number of moles:

0.550 mol * 78.96 g/mol = 43.43 g

The chemist would require to use 43.43 grams.

Vinegar is classified as a base, acid, or is it neutral ?

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Vinegar is acidic => acetic acid (HC₂H₃O₂)

Explanation:

Vinegar consists of acetic acid (HC₂H₃O₂), water and trace amounts of other chemicals, which may include flavorings. The concentration of the acetic acid is variable. Distilled vinegar contains 5-8% acetic acid.
