The amount of the 240 g sample of the radioisotope that will remain after 525 billion years is 7.5 g

<h3>How to the number of half-lives that has elapsed</h3>
  • Half-life (t½) = 105 billion years
  • Time (t) = 525 billion years
  • Number of half-lives (n) = ?

n = t / t½

n = 525 / 105

n = 5

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining</h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 240 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 5
  • Amount remaining (N) = ?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 240 / 2⁵

N = 240 / 32

N = 7.5 g

What are the similarities and differences between light microscopes used by early scientists and light microscopes used today?
Aleks [24]
Electron microscopes differ from light microscopes in that they produce an image of a specimen by using a beam of electrons rather than a beam of light. Electrons have much a shorter wavelength than visible light, and this allows electron microscopes to produce higher-resolution images than standard light microscopes

Which structure is located between the auricle and the eardrum? O stirrup O ear canal O auditory nerve Ocochlea​
Damm [24]

Answer:

The structure that is located between the auricle and the eardrum is the ear canal.

Explanation:

The ear canal, or external ear canal, is a a tubular hole about 30 mm long that runs from the auricle to the eardrum, forming part of the external ear.

Its function is to conduct sound, in the form of vibrations, from the outside to the eardrum. It also has the function of producing a viscous secretion called cerumen, capable of trapping dust particles and small foreign bodies.

Other options are not correct because:

  • <em>Stirrup is located in the middle ear, along with the anvil and hammer. </em>
  • <em>Cochlea is in the inner ear and continues with the auditory nerve.</em>

Answer the following questions that relate to electrochemical reactions. (a) Under standard conditions at 25˚C, Zn(s) reacts wit
Elanso [62]

Answer:

0.48 V

Explanation:

Zn(s) ------------> Zn^2+(aq) + 2e. Oxidation half equation (-0.76V)

Co^2+(aq) + 2e-----------> Co(s). Reduction half equation (-0.28)

Zn(s) + Co^2+(aq) -------------> Zn^2+(aq) + Co(s) overall redox equation

Zinc is the anode while cobalt is the cathode.

E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode

E°cell= -0.28-(-0.76)= 0.48 V

Please help, I lost my previous tutor just when she was explaining the answer
TEA [102]

Answer:

HCO₂/H₂O is not the acid-base conjugate pair.

Explanation:

<em>Acid and conjugate base pairs differ by an H+ ion.</em>

Neither HCO₂ nor H₂O has lost or gained protons.

The conjugate acid of H₂O is H₃O⁺

The conjugate base of HCO₃⁻ is CO₃²⁻

[A conjugate acid has one more H⁺ than its base]
