1 mole of iron-59 would mass 59 grams, so 0.133 picograms would be 0.133x10^-12 / 59 = 2.25x10^-15 moles of iron-59. Multiplying by Avogadro's number, we can determine the number of atoms of iron-59 we have, so: 2.25x10^-15 * 6.02214x10^23 = 1.35x10^9
Since we have 242 decays over a period of 1 second, we can divide the
number of atoms left by the original number of atoms
(1350000000 - 242)/1350000000
= 1349999758/1350000000
= 0.999999820740741
And calculate the logarithm to base 2 of that quotient.
ln(0.999999820740741)/ln(2)
= -1.79259275281191x10^-7/0.693147180559945
= -2.58616467481524x10^-7
The reciprocal of this number will be the half life in seconds. So
-1/2.58616467481524x10^-7
= -3866729.79388461
And dividing by 3600 (number of seconds in an hour) will give the half-life in
hours.
-3866729.79388461 / 3600 = -1074.091609
So the half life in hours to 3 significant figures is 1070 hours.
Dividing that figure by 24 gives a half life of 44.58 days which is in pretty close agreement to the official half-life of 44.495 days for iron-59.
The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere. It is a complex system that includes many different processes. Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow.

Answer:
The purpose of genes is to store information. Each gene contains the information required to build specific proteins needed in an organism.
Explanation:
The complete balanced chemical reaction is:
2 AgNO3 + Na2S --> 2 NaNO3 + Ag2S
First let us calculate the number of moles of AgNO3.
moles AgNO3 = 0.315 M * 0.035 L
moles AgNO3 = 0.011025 mol
From the reaction, 1 mole of Na2S is needed for every 2
moles of AgNO3 hence:
moles Na2S required = 0.011025 mol AgNO3 * (1 mol Na2S / 2
mol AgNO3)
moles Na2S required = 5.5125 x 10^-3 mol
Therefore volume required is:
volume Na2S = 5.5125 x 10^-3 mol / 0.260 M
<span>volume Na2S = 0.0212 L = 21.2 mL</span>
