The half life equation is -->P(t) = Pi (0.5) ^ (t/c)
c is equal to the element to reach its half-life (5 seconds)t is equal to the duration of time the element is expose to (20 seconds)Pi is the initial amount (340)0.5 is the base of this exponential function to represent half-life.P(t) is the expression for the function of time

P(20) = 340 (0.5)^20/5P(20) = 340 (0.5) ^4P(20)= 21.25 grams
Fraction = P(t)/Pi              = P(20)/Pi              =21.25/340              =1/16
Therefore, when given 20 seconds, 340 grams of Fluorine-21 will degrade to 21.25 grams OR 1/16 of its original mass.
Hope this method helps! (This is my answer btw, I think you may have accidentally posted twice?)

What is radioactive decay?
swat32

Answer:

Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting one or more particles or photons.

PLEASE ANSWER CORRECTLY! MARKING BRANLIEST!
seropon [69]

Answer: oil spill, forest fire

Explanation:

The short term environmental change is a change that occur in an environment which exerts it's effect over the environment and the living beings for a short duration. The damage caused by the short term environmental change can be recovered in a short time. The oil spill and forests fire are the example of short term environmental changes.

The oil spill will reduce the abundance of the aquatic species until the oil is circulated out at the bay of the water body therefore, it is a short term environmental change.

Forests fire will remain ignited for a short period but can be destructive enough to cause damage to flora and fauna species. As time passes the reduced populations of flora and fauna can be recovered again.

Choose the atom with:
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a )Li

b)O

c)F

Explanation:

a) Li-1s^2 2s^1

F-1s^2 2s^2 2p^5

it is easy to pull out e- from 2p orbit than 2s because 2s orbit is close to nucleus.Therefore Li have high ionisation enthalpy

b)oxygen ion is larger than Na because o have fewer proton

c)F because it requires only 1e to achieve stable noble gas configuration.Therefore to achieve stable nobke gas electonic configuration it accept 1e.

In a solution, which pair of actions could combine to keep a concentration constant?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

B: Adding water, then adding solute

Explanation:

This is because, say you have a solution with a certain concentration.

If you add more water, it will become more diluted (less concentrated)

If you add more solute, it will become more concentrated.

Therefore if you add water and solute, it could cancel out, and the concentration would remain the same.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions/ would like anything further explained :)
