0.84 milligrams of a 2. 000 mg sample remain after 6. 55 years, according to radioactive decay.

Given data,

t\frac{1}{2} of Co-60 = 5.20years

amount of sample = 2.000mg initially = 0.002grams

According to radioactive decay,

N_{t} = N_{0}e^{-λt}

(N_{0} - 0.002 )λ = \frac{0.693}{t\frac{1}{2} } = \frac{0.693}{5.20}  = 0.133

According to radioactive decay,

N_{t} = N_{0}e^{-λt}

lnN_{t}  = lnN_{0} - λt

lnN_{t} = ln0.002 - (0.133×6.55)

       = -6.21 - 0.87 = -7.08 = 0.00084g = 0.84mg

Therefore, 0.84 milligrams of a 2. 000 mg sample remain after 6. 55 years.

Which pair of atoms has the highest electronegativity difference? Na-F Ca-F H-F C-F F-F
babunello [35]
The answer is Na-F. The F has highest electronegativity among these elements. So we need to find the element with smallest electronegativity. And this element is Na.

The four elements that make up about 96% of body matter are ________.
AveGali [126]

An element is a pure substance that cannot be separated or divided into simpler substances by any method (physical or chemical). The four common elements in all the living organisms are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen.

Thus, the four elements that make up about 96 % of body matter are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen (c).

In which example is a physical property being describe?
earnstyle [38]
Are there choices? Because if there are that would help A LOT, but if there are no choices I can give some examples of physical properties, though there are MILLIONS, here are a few :) .

Physical property examples are: color, smell, freezing point, boiling point, melting point, attraction or repulsion to magnets and viscosity and density. If these are not options, please let me know :)

Have a great day, let me know if I can help with anything else, have a great day, and, if you have time, mark brainiest, I would really appreciate it, thanks! :D

The outputs of celluar respritiation are?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

carbon dioxide , water , 38ATP

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose → lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration.
