Answer:

0.805 or 0.781 depending on the method used.

Explanation:

<u>Data</u><u> </u><u>provided</u>

half life ie t1/2= 8days.

No= 50g

t=48days

Nt=?

<u>Metho</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>1</u>

<u>Formul</u><u>a</u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>N</u><u>t=</u><u> </u><u>No</u><u>(</u><u>1</u><u>/</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u>^</u><u>n</u>

where n= number of half lives.

= t/t1/2 = 48/8

=6.

thus Nt= 50(1/2)^6= 0.781

<u>Metho</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>2</u>

<u>Formul</u><u>a</u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>Nt</u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>Noe^-</u><u>(</u><u>lambda</u><u>)</u><u>t</u>

where lambda= decay constant

= ln2/ t1/2= ln2/ 8 = 0.086.

thus Nt= 50e^-(0.086×48)= 0.805.

Which series of atomic numbers represents the ordering of consecutive elements within the periodic table?
statuscvo [17]

Atomic number is same as the number of protons in the element which is further equal to the number of electrons. As the number of electrons increases in the element, the atomic number of the element also increases.

In periodic table, elements are arranged in the groups, and these groups are columns starting from 1 to 18, elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number. Elements are placed with difference of one atomic number.

First four elements present in the periodic table is:

He atomic number is one (1).

H atomic number is two (2).

Li atomic number is three (3).

Be atomic number is four (4).

Thus, the series of atomic numbers that represents the ordering of consecutive elements within the periodic table is the last option - 1, 2, 3, 4...

The blank <br> and the blank <br> of atoms are the same on both sides of a chemical equation.
tester [92]

Answer:

Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

While in Europe, if you drive 109 km per day, how much money would you spend on gas in one week if gas costs 1.10 euros per lite
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The amount is x  =  113.3 \  dollars

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  distance traveled per day is  l  =  109\ km =  \frac{109}{1.609}  =  67.74 \  mi

    The  cost of one liter is  c =  1.10 \ euros/liter = 1.10  *  1.26  = 1.36 \ dollars/liter

     The car's  gas mileage is  b =  22.0 \ mi/gal

Generally the amount of distance covered in one week is evaluated as

      z =  67.74 * 7

       z = 474.18 \  mi

The  amount of gas used in one week by the car is mathematically represented as  

       k  = \frac{ z}{ b}

=>    k  = \frac{ 474.18}{ 22}

=>      k  =  22 \ gal

converting to liters

          k =  22 *  3.78541=83.28 \ liters

Thus the amount spent on gas in one week is  

          x =  k *  c

=>      x  =  83.28 *  1.36

=>      x  =  113.3 \  dollars
