Answer:
3
Explanation:
Applying,
= R/R'............... Equation 1
Where n' = number of halflives that have passed, R = Original atom of the substance, R' = atom of the substance left after decay.
From the question,
Given: R = 40 atoms, R' = 5 atoms
Substitute these values into equation 1
= 40/5
= 8
= 2³
Equation the base,
n' = 3
<span>Answer: option D) Conditions over the oceans change slowly because water takes more time than land to gain or lose heat.
This is because water has a high heat capacity meaning that, with the same amount of heat, it will change its temperature less than what substances with lower heat capacities do.

substitute: <span><span>t<span>1/2</span></span>=<span><span>ln(2)</span>k</span>→k=<span><span>ln(2)</span><span>t<span>1/2</span></span></span></span>
Into the appropriate equation: <span>[A<span>]t</span>=[A<span>]0</span>∗<span>e<span>−kt</span></span></span>
<span>[A<span>]t</span>=[A<span>]0</span>∗<span>e<span>−<span><span>ln(2)</span><span>t<span>1/2</span></span></span>t</span></span></span>
<span>[A<span>]t</span>=(250.0 g)∗<span>e<span>−<span><span>ln(2)</span><span>3.823 days</span></span>(7.22 days)</span></span>=67.52 g</span>
