The amount of the 30 gram-sample that will remain after 270 years is 6.61 grams

<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives </h3>

We'll begin by obtaining the number of half lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

  • Half-life (t½) = 96 years
  • Time (t) = 270 years
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 270 / 99

n = 2.8125

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 30 grams
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 2.8125
  • Amount remaining (N) =?

The amount remaing can be obtained as follow:

N = N₀ / 2^n

N = 30 / 2^2.8125

N = 6.61 grams

Olfactory nerve is the first nerve out of the 12 cranial nerve that is located in the head and is also the shortest of all the cranial nerve. The receptors of the olfactory nerve are present in the nasal mucosa that passes to the forebrain.

It pass sensory information of smell to the brain so it plays the sensory function in smell perception. The damage to olfactory nerves can lead to:

Anosmia: In anosmia, people lose their ability to smell.

Dysosmia: In this situation, people lost their ability to distinguish between various types of smell.

So the right answer is olfactory nerve(1).
