4. Two scientists are experimenting with pure samples of isotope X, a highly radioactive substance. The first scientist has a sa

mple with a mass of 20 grams. He
measures a half-life of 232 seconds. The second scientist has a sample of the same substance with a mass of 80 grams. What is the half-life that she is most likely
to measure?
A. 58 seconds
B.232 seconds
C.464 seconds
D. 928 seconds

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The substances are the exact same!

The half life should be the same too :)

A half life is how long it takes for a substance to break down and leave your system.

So for 20 grams, it goes away in 232 seconds, but for 80 grams, which is 4 times the amount, you would also multiply the half life by 4

I hope this is correct!

I have my exam monday I need some help!
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the passage of the waves is one crest every 2.5 seconds, then that is the frequency of the wave, f.

The distance between the 2 crests (or troughs) is the wavelength, λ.

We want the velocity of this wave. The equation that relates these 3 things is

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} and filling in:

2.5=\frac{v}{2.0} so

v = 2.5(2.0) and

v = 5.0 m/s

Plz answer this! I am stumped
Gwar [14]
MgCl2
Mg = magnesium
Cl = chlorine

Magnesium + chlorine = magnesium chloride.

This is because compounds are always written with the METAL FIRST and the NON METAL SECOND. the non metal ends in - ide when it reacts with a metal.

So ur answer would be magnesium chloride. :)
