The amount of substance that is present after t years given that the half-life of the substance is h is calculated through the equation,

   A(t) = A(o)(0.5^t/h)

If after a year, the rate of decay is equal to 33.3% then,

   A(t)/A(o) = (1/3) = 0.5^(1/h)

The value of h from the equation is 0.63 years. 

Answer: 0.63 years

Mr Singh is cooking using wo pans of oiling water. Both pans are made of steel, but one pan has a much thicker base than the oth
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When either pan is heated, energy is transferred via conduction. Conduction is the process by which heat is transferred through a material, the average position of the particles remaining the same.

When the pans are heated, the particles in each pan vibrate faster and transfer this energy rapidly to neighboring particles.

The pan with a thicker base has more particles in it than the pan with lighter weight base. Note that, The rate of heat transfer is inversely proportional to the thickness of the material in question. Hence, the thicker the base, the more the number of particles present and the longer the time it takes for the food to cook.

What characteristics of a metallic bond explains some of the properties of metals
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Metallic bonds involve attraction between electrons and positively charged metal ions. The metals are ionized and electrons form a sea of valence electrons. These loosely bound electrons surround the nuclei of the metals.

The presence of this sea of electrons explains the fact that metals conduct electricity and heat due to the free valence electrons.

Due to the nature of the bonding between metal atoms,metals are malleable and ductile.

Due to the strong electrostatic interaction between metal ions and electrons, the metallic bond is very strong and is very difficult to break thereby accounting for the greater strength of metals as the size of the metallic ion decreases.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

200 mL

Explanation:

You simply add the volumes :) If this was a case that involved titration, you would use the formula M1V1 = M2V2. I do not know if that is what you were referring to but based on the information you gave, you simply add the two volumes.
