Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Question 1: Turn 25 coins tails up. You now have 50% parent material and 50% daughter material. What is the half life of this substance? (20 Points)

Answer:

Based upon the given information, we can assume that the half life of this coin material is 5 years.

Question 2: Imagine that another half life has gone by. Remember that ONLY the parent material can change to the daughter material. Turn over your pennies to represent the passing of another half life. How much total parent material and how much total daughter material do you now have? You may express your answer in number of pennies or in %. (Note: Since you cannot turn over half a penny, round the actual number of pennies you would turn over up.) (20 points)

Answer:

Based upon the given information from Question 2 and Question 3, we can assume that 13 additional coins would be turned over. We started with 50, than flipped 50% of them over, and now another 50% over. We have 12 coins left.

Question 3: How many half lives will pass before you have only 3 pennies that are parent material and 47 pennies that are daughter material? (20 Points)

Answer:

Based upon the given information from all the questions, and based upon our answers we can assume this:

1st half-life: 50 turned to 25 coins

2nd half-life: 25 turned to 12 coins

3rd half-life: 12 turns to 6 coins

4th half-life: 6 turns to 3 coins

So, after 4 half-lives (or after 20 years) we would have 3 coins left that have parent material.

A student has a piece of aluminum metal what is the most reasonable assumption a student can make about the metal

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

<h2>- It could be stretched into a thin wire.</h2>

Explanation:

As per the question, the most rational claim that the student can make about the aluminum metal is that 'it could be stretched into a thin wire' without breaking which shows its ductility. It is one of the most significant characteristics of a metal. Metals can conduct electricity in any state and not only when melted. Thus, option A is wrong. Options C and D are incorrect as metals neither have the same shape always nor do they break on hitting with a hammer. Therefore, option E is the correct answer.

29. A gas has a volume of 1.75 L at -23°C and 150.0 kPa.

arsen [322]

The answer for the following mention bellow.

Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 260 k

Explanation:

Given:

Initial pressure ( $P_{1}$ ) = 150.0 kPa

Final pressure ( $P_{2}$ ) = 210.0 kPa

Initial volume ( $V_{1}$ ) = 1.75 L

Final volume ( $V_{2}$ ) = 1.30 L

Initial temperature ( $T_{1}$ ) = -23°C = 250 k

To find:

Final temperature ( $T_{2}$ )

We know;

According to the ideal gas equation;

P × V = n × R ×T

where;

P represents the pressure of the gas

V represents the volume of the gas

n represents the no of moles of the gas

R represents the universal gas constant

T represents the temperature of the gas

We know;

$\frac{P*V}{T}$ = constant

$\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }$ × $\frac{V_{1} }{V_{2} }$ = $\frac{T_{1} }{T_{2} }$

Where;

( $P_{1}$ ) represents the initial pressure of the gas

( $P_{2}$ ) represents the final pressure of the gas

( $V_{1}$ ) represents the initial volume of the gas

( $V_{2}$ ) represents the final volume of the gas

( $T_{1}$ ) represents the initial temperature of the gas

( $T_{2}$ ) represents the final temperature of the gas

So;

$\frac{150 * 1.75}{210 * 1.30}$ = $\frac{260}{T_{2} }$

( $T_{2}$ ) =260 k

Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 260 k

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on __________.

irga5000 [103]

Should be their masses. Because the strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.

How does the periodic table make it easier for the scientist to work with and study elements

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The periodic table has gone through many changes since Dmitri Mendeleev drew up its original design in 1869, yet both the first table and the modern periodic table are important for the same reason: The periodic table organizes elements according to similar properties so you can tell the characteristics of an element just by looking at its location on the table
