The Half-Life of the radioactive sample is 8.1 hours.

<h3>What is half life of a radioactive element?</h3>

The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time taken for half the amount of atoms in the given substance to decay.

12.5 grams remains out of 100 grams of the sample.

This is 1/8 of the original samples.

1/8 of the original sample reperesent three half-lives undergone.

Half-Life of the radioactive sample = 24.3/3 = 8.1 hours

Therefore, the Half-Life of the radioactive sample is 8.1 hours.

An experiment requires 42.5 g of sulfuric acid, which is easier to measure by volume than by mass what voliume should be measure
kodGreya [7K]

<span>Using proportions, if x is the unknown volume we have: 
1.84 / 1 = 42.5 / x </span>

<span>
Multiply both sides above by x: 
1.84*x / 1 = 42.5
1.84*x = 42.5 
Divide both sides by 1.84: 
x = 42.5 / 1.84</span>

<span>X = 23.10 mL</span>
