Answer:
A biology investigation usually starts with an observation—that is, something that catches the biologist’s attention. For instance, a cancer biologist might notice that a certain kind of cancer can't be treated with chemotherapy and wonder why this is the case. A marine ecologist, seeing that the coral reefs of her field sites are bleaching—turning white—might set out to understand why.
How do biologists follow up on these observations? How can you follow up on your own observations of the natural world? In this article, we’ll walk through the scientific method, a logical problem-solving approach used by biologists and many other scientists.

Answer:
50 g of K₂CO₃ are needed
Explanation:
How many grams of K₂CO₃ are needed to make 500 g of a 10% m/m solution?
We analyse data:
500 g is the mass of the solution we want
10% m/m is a sort of concentration, in this case means that 10 g of solute (K₂CO₃) are contained in 100 g of solution
Therefore we can solve this, by a rule of three:
In 100 g of solution we have 10 g of K₂CO₃
In 500 g of solution we may have, (500 . 10) / 100 = 50 g of K₂CO₃
Equation for Half life :
A = a(0.5)^(t/h)
A is current amount, "a" is initial amount, h is halflife, t is time
5 = 40(0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
5/40 = (0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
take the log of both sides , power rule
Log(5/40) = (t/1.3x10^9) * Log(0.5)
(1.3x10^9) * Log(5/40) / Log(0.5) = t
3.9x10^9 years = t
And if you think about what a half life is, the time it take for the amount to reduce to half.
40/2 = 20
20/2 = 10
10/2 = 5
It went through 3 half-lifes
3 * 1.3x10^9 = 3.9x10^9 years
