The half-life of phosphorus-32 is 14.30 days. how many milligrams of a 20.00 mg sample of phosphorus-32 will remain after 85.80

days?

The amount of sample that is left after a certain period of time, given the half-life, h, can be calculated through the equation.

             A(t) = A(o) (1/2)^(t/d)

where t is the certain period of time. Substituting the known values,

             A(t) = (20 mg)(1/2)^(85.80/14.30)

Solving,

           A(t) = 0.3125 mg

Hence, the answer is 0.3125 mg.

1.5 moles of Al is how many<br> atoms?
aev [14]

Answer:

<h2>9.03 × 10²³ atoms </h2>

Explanation:

The number of atoms of Al can be found by using the formula

<h3>N = n × L</h3>

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

N = 1.5 × 6.02 × 10²³

We have the final answer as

<h3>9.03 × 10²³ atoms</h3>

Hope this helps you

A 1.04L sample of gas of 759 mm Hg pressure is expanded
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

P2 = 352 mm Hg (rounded to three significant figures)

Explanation:

PV = nRT

where P is the pressure,

V is the volume,

n is the moles of gas,

R is the gas constant,

and T is the temperature.

We must relate this equation to a sample of gas at two different volumes however. Looking at the equation, we can relate the change in volume by:

P1V1 = P2V2

where P1 is the initial pressure,

V1 is the initial volume,

P2 is the final pressure,

and V2 is the final volume.

Looking at this relationship, pressure and volume have an indirect relationship; when one goes up, the other goes down. In that case, we can use this equation to solve for the new pressure.

P1V1 = P2V2

(759 mm Hg)(1.04 L) = P2(2.24 L)

P2 = 352 mm Hg (rounded to three significant figures)

What may cause some short term environmental changes how would organisms respond to these changes
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Refer to explanation

Explanation:

Weather is the main cause behind most short term environmental changes

For example, a period of heavy rain may lead to a pond overflowing, and flooding the nearby shrubbery

Animals in the area would adapt to this by trying to keep away from the flooded area until it dries out, once the rain ends

The presence of a large population of _____________ indicates water depleted of oxygen and a high level of organic pollution.
blondinia [14]

The presence of a large population of sludgeworms indicates water depleted of oxygen and a high level of organic pollution.

The sludgeworms Tubifex is harvested and sold as tropical fish food since it is common near sewer outlets and serves as a sign of water or organic pollution. Polychaetes are crucial in rearranging the silt on the ocean floor.

Organic contamination happens when too much organic material, such sewage or manure, gets into the water.

There will be more decomposers and sludgeworms in a pond as the organic content accumulates. These decomposers and sludgeworms develop quickly and consume a lot of oxygen as they do so.

Hence, Sludgeworms are a sign of an abundance of oxygen-depleted water and significant levels of organic pollutants.
