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%.

A bottle of coke is 250.0 mL. What is the volume in cubic centimeters?
hoa [83]

Answer:

The volume in cubic centimeters is 250

Explanation:

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the direct rule of three must be applied. To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So:

x=\frac{c*b}{a}

The direct rule of three is the rule applied in this case where there is a change of units. To perform this conversion of units, you must first know that 1 mL = 1 cubic centimeters. So, if 1 cubic centimeters is 1 mL, how many cubic centimeters equals 250 mL?

cubic centimeters=\frac{250 mL*1 cubic centimeters }{1 mL}

cubic centimeters= 250

<u><em>The volume in cubic centimeters is 250</em></u>
