Answer:

36 years

Explanation:

2 =  16   *   (1/2)^n          where n is the number of half lives

2/16 = (1/2)^n

1/8 =  (1/2)^n

log (1/8)  = log (1/2^n)

log(1/8) =  n log (1/2)

log ( 1/8 ) / log(1/2) = n = 3  half lives

each half life is 12 years    so  3 * 12 = 36 years

Is oxidation an example of an extensive property or an intensive property? Explain.
Korolek [52]
Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter present, for example, the mass of gold. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of matter present, for example, the density of gold. Heat is an example of an extensive property, and temperature is an example of an intensive property.
