125 Each half life it divides by 2 the amount
1000/2=500
500/2=250
250/2=125

Answer : The atoms of Na-24 remaining are, 125.1 atoms

Explanation :

Half-life = 15 hours

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{15\text{ hours}}

k=4.62\times 10^{-2}\text{ hours}^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the left atoms of Na-24.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 4.62\times 10^{-2}\text{ hours}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = 45 hours

a = initial atoms of the reactant  = 1000

a - x = atoms left after decay process = ?

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

45=\frac{2.303}{4.62\times 10^{-2}}\log\frac{1000}{a-x}

a-x=125.1atoms

Therefore, the atoms of Na-24 remaining are, 125.1 atoms

Compare the patterns of earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges on earth?
IgorC [24]

At diverging plate boundaries, earthquakes occurs as the plates pull away from each other. Volcanoes form between the plates, as magma rises upward from the underlying mantle. Second, two plates may come together, at a converging plate boundary. Two situations are possible at converging plate boundaries.

How does the atmosphere and the hydrosphere affect climate
Bad White [126]
How is the hydrosphere changing? Human contributions to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are warming the earth's surface - a process which is projected to increase evaporation of surface water and accelerate the hydrologic cycle. In turn, a warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor.
