I’m in chemistry too. Giving this my best guess I’d say
Independent: Gem Mines
Dependent: Gem clarity
Controlled: Temperature
The answer should be neutrons electrons and protons
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.
Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space, It can exist in 3 states, or phases: solid, liquid, and gas.
Solid molecules are closely packed together and retain a fixed shape.
Liquid molecules aren't packed very closely, and take the shape of the bottom of the container.
Gas molecules are far apart and fill the container
completely.
