Radioactive phosphorus-32 decays with a half-life of 14.0 days. A chemist obtains a fresh sample of phosphorus-32 and measures i

ts radioactivity. She then determines that to do an experiment, the radioactivity cannot fall below 25% of the initial measured value. How many days does she have to perform the experiment

It will take 28 days to let the radioactivity fall below 25%.

<h3>What is Half Life ?</h3>

Half life can be described as the time required by the radioactive compound to reduce to half of the original value of concentration.

It is given that

Radioactive phosphorus-32 decays with a half-life of 14.0 days

25% of the initial measure at what time =?

For 50% decay the time needed is 14 days

for decay of the next 50%  of the amount left the time taken will be another 14 days

2nd half life = 25% decay of the substance = 28 days

Therefore it will take 28 days to let the radioactivity fall below 25%.

An atom of oxygen (atomic number 8) has a mass number of 17. How many neutrons are<br> in that atom?
ludmilkaskok [199]
<h2>Answer:  # of neutrons = 9</h2>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

# of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

                      = 17 - 8

                      = 9

<h3>∴ number of neutrons in an atom of oxygen of mass number 17, is 9.</h3>

The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent
Dafna1 [17]
The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the molar ratio of the substances.

For example, if an equation says 2H2 + O2 ⇒ 2H2O, it means
2 moles of H2 + 1 mol of O2 ⇒ 2 moles of H2O.
