Answer:

For plato, the answer is C: after each half tile, the amount of radioactive material is reduced by half

storchak [24]3 years ago

Answer: b} The exact time when an individual atom will decay can be accurately predicted.

c} After each half-life, the amount of radioactive material is reduced by half.

Explanation:

All radioactive decay  follows first order kinetics.

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decay process

a = initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process

Expression for calculating half life, which is the time taken by the half of the reactants to decompose is:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

What is the empirical formula of a molecule containing 65.5% carbon, 5.5% hydrogen, and 29.0% oxygen
natta225 [31]
Carbon(C):
number of moles= mass/molar mass(Mr)
=65.5/12
=5.5 moles

Hydrogen(H):
number of moles=mass/molar mass (Mr)
=5.5/1
=5.5 moles

Oxygen (O):
number of moles = mass/molar mass (Mr)
=29.0/16
=1.8 moles

EF= lowest number of moles over each of the elements

So,
C= 5.5/1.8 = 3
H= 5.5/1.8 = 3
O= 1.8/1.8 = 1

Therefore Emperical formula= C3H3O

Name three stars that are hotter than the sun
devlian [24]

Eta Carinae could be as large as 180 times the radius of the Sun, and its surface temperature is 36,000-40,000 Kelvin. Just for comparison, 40,000 Kelvin is about 72,000 degrees F. So it's the blue hypergiants, like Eta Carinae, which are probably the hottest stars in the Universe.
