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

Find the volume of a gold ring that has a mass of 12.00 grams. The density of gold is 19.30 g/mL. The volume is
kozerog [31]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.622 mL</h3>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density}  \\

From the question

mass = 12 g

density = 19.30 g/mL

We have

volume =  \frac{12}{19.30}  \\  = 0.62176165...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.622 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
