You have 40 g of a radioisotope. If the half-life of this radioisotope is 4 days, how many grams will remain after 12 days?

With reference to radioactive material, half-life is the time required to 50% depletion of initial amount of material. 

Given: Initial amount of radioactive material = 40 g
Half life = 4 days.

Therefore, After 4 days, amount of compound left = 40/2 = 20 g
After 8 days, i.e 2 half-life, amount of compound left = 20/2 = 10 g
Finally after 12 days, i.e. 3 half-life, amount of compound left = 10/2 = 5 g

Thus, 5 <span>grams will remain after 12 days</span>

Which is an example of an object increasing its kinetic energy
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The answer to this question is the A choice. A rocket before launch.

Explanation:

In the definition of kinetic energy, it says: In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.

State whether the error introduced by each of the following problems would result in a high or a low value for the Cu recovery o
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Low value for copper recovery

Explanation:

The percentage recovery is obtained from;

Percent recovery = amount of substance you actually collected / amount of substance you were supposed to collect × 100

Note that the fact that some of the copper nitrate solution splashed out of the beaker means that some amount copper has been lost from the system. This loss of copper leads to a lower value of copper recovered from solution.

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.

The answer lies in the large separation of atoms and molecules in gases, compared to their sizes, as illustrated in Figure 2. Because atoms and molecules have large separations, forces between them can be ignored, except when they collide with each other during collisions. The motion of atoms and molecules (at temperatures well above the boiling temperature) is fast, such that the gas occupies all of the accessible volume and the expansion of gases is rapid. In contrast, in liquids and solids, atoms and molecules are closer together and are quite sensitive to the forces between them.
