Most of the heat that’s melting the ice comes from the foil. That’s because metals are good conductors of heat. Heat from the su
rroundings flows into the foil and then from the foil into the ice. Draw arrows to show the amount and direction of heat transfer between the foil and the ice.

Answer:
8.625 grams of a 150 g sample of Thorium-234 would be left after 120.5 days
Explanation:
The nuclear half life represents the time taken for the initial amount of sample to reduce into half of its mass.
We have given that the half life of thorium-234 is 24.1 days. Then it takes 24.1 days for a Thorium-234 sample to reduced to half of its initial amount.
Initial amount of Thorium-234 available as per the question is 150 grams
So now we start with 150 grams of Thorium-234
So after 120.5 days the amount of sample that remains is 8.625g
In simpler way , we can use the below formula to find the sample left
Where
is the initial sample amount
n = the number of half-lives that pass in a given period of time.
