Answer:<span>d. 145 minutes
</span>
Half-life is the time needed for a radioactive to decay half of its weight. The formula to find the half-life would be:

Nt= N0 (1/2)^ t/h

Nt= the final mass
N0= the initial mass
t= time passed
h= half-life

If 25.0% of the compound decomposes that means the final mass would be 75% of initial mass. Then the half-live for the compound would be:
Nt= N0 (1/2)^ t/h
75%= 100% * (1/2)^ (60min/h)
3/4= 1/2^(60min/h)
log2 3/4 = log2 1/2^(60min/h)
0.41503749928 = -60min/h
h= -60 min / 0.41503749928= 144.6min

What is the approximate temperature of the descending air at an elevation of 1,600 meters?
Margarita [4]
According to Diagram B, look at the 1600 elevation until you see the descending air line touches it. Then look down at the temperature at the bottom of the graph. It is between 0 degrees to 5 degrees.

The only number that is between that range is 2 degrees C.

A car is traveling 83.3 kilometers per hour. What is its speed in miles per minute? One kilometer = 0.62 miles.
Leya [2.2K]
Hi. 2fouls! :)

First convert the number from kilometer to miles:
83.3*0.62
=51.646 miles

Now to find the miles per minutes,divide the miles per hours by 60 (the amount of minutes in an hour.)

51.646/60
=0.860766667

The car is travelling at a speed of 0.860766667 miles/minute.

Hope this helps.

Which actions represent endothermic reactions? Check all that apply. an instant ice pack becoming cold, splitting a gas molecule
DerKrebs [107]
Answer is: an instant ice pack becoming cold, splitting a gas molecule and baking bread.

<span>Endothermic reaction is chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases.
</span>In ice pack, <span>reaction absorbs heat from the surroundings (endothermic reaction), lowering the surrounding temperature.
For splitting molecule and baking bread we must add energy to break bonds between atoms.</span>

What can liquids and gases do that solids cannot?
Aleks [24]

Answer:

What can liquids do that solids cannot?Liquids will flow and fill up any shape of container. Solids like to hold their shape. In the same way that a large solid holds its shape, the atoms inside of a solid are not allowed to move around too much. Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want.

What can gases do that solids cannot?The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids. They vibrate and move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid.

I hope this helps
