3; REVIEWS: If the ratio of argon to potassium atoms is 7:1, three half-lives have elapsed.

<h3>Do potassium's half-lives last a long time?</h3>

For potassium atoms, the image result is 7:1, meaning three half-lives have passed. details

A radioactive potassium isotope with a long half-life of 1.25 billion years is known as potassium-40 (40K). About 0.012% (120 ppm) of the total potassium present in nature is contained in it.

<h3>How much of a sample is still there after three half-lives?</h3>

One eighth (12.5%) of the initial sample is still present after three half-lives. The period of time needed for one-half of a sample to traverse through...

A mixture of uneven distribution and easy separation is called. homogeneous a solution heterogeneous a standard
Blizzard [7]

The solutes dissolves in solvent results in the formation of a solution.

Those mixtures in which the components of mixture are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture are said to be homogeneous.  

Those mixtures in which the components of mixture are not uniformly distributed throughout the mixture are said to be heterogeneous.  

Those solutions whose concentrations are accurately known are known as standard.

Hence, a mixture of uneven distribution and easy separation is heterogeneous.
