<h3>Answer:</h3>
18.75 grams
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
- Half-life refers to the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of the original mass.
- In this case, the half-life of element X is 10 years, which means it takes 10 years for a given mass of the element to decay by half of its original mass.
- To calculate the amount that remained after decay we use;
Remaining mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half-lives
Number of half-lives = Time for the decay ÷ Half-life
= 40 years ÷ 10 years
= 4
Therefore;
Remaining mass = 300 g × (1/2)⁴
= 300 g × 1/16
= 18.75 g
Hence, a mass of 300 g of an element X decays to 18.75 g after 40 years.
Answer:
- <u><em>g) Neither plant should increase by 1 cm in height.</em></u>
Explanation:
See the graph for this question on the figure attached.
The growing of the <em>plant A</em> is represented by the line that goes above the other. At start, that line has a slope that rises about 0.75 cm ( height increase) in 1 day. From the day 2 and forward the slope of the line decreases. The line reaches its highest point about at day 4 and seems to start decreasing. Thus, you should predict that on the day six it <em>most likely </em>does not increase in height.
The growing of the <em>plant B</em> is represented by the line drawn below the other. As for the plant B, the growing decreases with the number of days. Between the days 4 and 5 the line is almost flat, which means that <em>most likely</em> this plant will not grow on the day six or grow less than 0.5 cm.
Thus, for both plants you can say that <em>on day six, most likley, neither should increase by 1 cm in height (</em>option g).
Answer:
Increasing the temperature of the reactants
Explanation:
This causes more vibrations to occur, hence increasing the kinetic energy of the particles. The number of particles with activation energy would increase as well because they have higher kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is also the reason why the collision between particles increases. And the frequency of effective collisions increases because of the kinetic energy as well, keep in mind the particles must also be orientated in the correct way as well.
C
because the mass never changes, it is always equal on both sides.
