The sum of the page numbers on the facing pages of a book is 69. what are the page numbers.

1 answer:

7 0

Cool problem !
Two pages of a book that face each other are consecutive integers, and one of them is even and the other one is odd.
So let's look at half of 69.
That's 34.5.
So let's try page 34 and page 35.
That works !

Dubnium-262 has a half-life of 34 s. How long will it take for 500.0 grams to

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

the time taken for the radioactive element to decay to 1 g is 304.8 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

half-life of the given Dubnium = 34 s

initial mass of the given Dubnium, m₀ = 500 grams

final mass of the element, mf = 1 g

The time taken for the radioactive element to decay to its final mass is calculated as follows;

$1 = 500 (0.5)^{\frac{t}{34}} \\\\\frac{1}{500} = (0.5)^{\frac{t}{34}}\\\\log(\frac{1}{500}) = log [(0.5)^{\frac{t}{34}}]\\\\log(\frac{1}{500}) = \frac{t}{34} log(0.5)\\\\-2.699 = \frac{t}{34} (-0.301)\\\\t = \frac{2.699 \times 34}{0.301} \\\\t = 304.8 \ s$
