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%.

Which statement explains why catalysts are important for living
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Catalysts allow chemical reactions to occur at temperatures at which the organism lives.

Explanation:

Catalysts are molecules that speeden the rate of chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. In a living system, the catalyst are ENZYMES, which help to hasten up many biochemical reactions.

Another function of catalyst in living systems is that it allows chemical reactions to occur at temperatures at which the organism lives.
