Three radioisotopes are being discussed in a chemistry class. Technetium-99m has a half-life of 6 hours. Rubidium-87 has a half-

life of 50 billion years. Which describes who would most likely use each isotope?

A likely application of a radioactive isotope with a short half-life such as Technetium-99 will be as a medical tracer. It will likely be used by a doctor to check the movement of substances within a person's body.

A radioactive isotope with such a long half-life like Rubidium-87 is likely used in the determination of the age of fossils and artifacts found by archaeologists.<span />

The answer is B. "A doctor would use technetium-99m because a short half-life indicates a quick measurement, and a geologist would use rubidium-87 because a longer half-life means that there is a longer time to measure old rock" on edg

Chalcopyrite is an ore with the composition cufes2. what is the percentage of iron in a 39.6 g sample of this ore? answer in uni
iren2701 [21]
<span>Well it depends on percentage by what, but I'll just assume that it's percentage by mass. For this, we look at the atomic masses of the elements present in the compound. Cu has an atomic mass of 63.546 amu Fe has 55.845 amu and S has 36.065 amu Since there are 2 molecules of Sulfur for each one of Cu and Fe, we'll multiply the Sulfur atomic weight by 2 to obtain 72.13 amu So we have not established the mass of the compound in amus 63.546 + 55.845 + 72.13 = 191.521 That is the atomic mass of Chalcopyrite. and Iron's atomic mass is 55.845 So to get the percentage, or fraction of iron, we take 55.845 / 191.521 Which comes out to 29.15% by mass Mass of the sample is not needed for this calculation, but since the question mentions it I would go ahead and check if the question isn't also asking for the mass of Iron in the sample as well, in which case you just find the 29.15% of 67.7g</span>

If an object has 25 newtons of force pushing from the left and 26 newtons of force pushing from the right the object will
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

C. move left

Explanation:

The object will move towards the left direction due to the unbalanced forces that are acting on it.

 The resultant force on the object will be 1N in the left direction

  • The resultant force on a body is that singular force that will have the same effect as the different forces that acts on a body
  • When forces acts in opposite directions, they are subtracted
  • The object will move in the direction of the one with the greater force

So;

  Resultant force = 26N - 25N  = 1N

The body moves 1N to the left

Your teacher asks you to design an experiment that shows how plants respond to changes in their environment. You have two identi
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

1.  Make observations.

Determine whether the plant grown under the white light bulb or the plant grown under the red light bulb grew better.

Observations are anything we notice which lead to a question in our mind.

2. Ask a question.

Do plants grow as well under a different color of light?

As this is a question being asked, hence it will be the question for the scientific method of research.

3. Test the hypothesis.

Put one plant under a white light bulb, and  place the other plant under a red light bulb.  Measure the growth of the two plants.

To test the hypothesis, experiments are performed. This is the experiment.

4. Analyze the results, and make a conclusion.

Plants grow well under sunlight or a light bulb  with a hot, white light.

After the experiments, the results are compiled and a conclusion is drawn.

5. Test or modify.

If you observe no change, repeat the experiment with different colors of light bulbs. If there is a change, repeat the experiment for one or two more trials to ensure that the color of the light bulb contributes to the change.

If our hypothesis does not come out to be true, then another hypothesis can be generated and tests be done for it.
