Answer:
five half lives
Explanation:
Half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.
How many half lives it would take to reach 3.13% form 100% of it's initial concentration:
100% - 50% : First Half life
50% - 25%: Second Half life
25% - 12.5%: Third Half life
12.5% - 6.25%: Fourth Half life
6.25% - 3.125%: Fifth Half life
This means it would take five half lives to get to 3.125% (≈ 3.13%) of it's original concentration.
Answer is: silicon isotope with mass number 28 has highest relative abundance, this isotope is the most common of these three isotopes.
Ar₁(Si) = 28; the average atomic mass of isotope ²⁸Si.
Ar₂(Si) =29; the average atomic mass of isotope ²⁹Si.
Ar₃(Si) =30; the average atomic mass of isotope ³⁰Si.
Silicon (Si) is composed of three stable isotopes, ₂₈Si (92.23%), ₂₉Si (4.67%) and ₃₀Si (3.10%).
ω₁(Si) = 92.23%; mass percentage of isotope ²⁸Si.
ω₂(Si) = 4.67%; mass percentage of isotope ²⁹Si.
ω₃(Si) = 3.10%; mass percentage of isotope ³⁰Si.
Ar(Si) = 28.086 amu; average atomic mass of silicon.
Ar(Si) = Ar₁(Si) · ω₁(B) + Ar₂(Si) · ω₂(Si) + Ar₃(Si) · ω₃(Si).
28,086 = 28 · 0.9223 + 29 · 0.0467 + 30 · 0.031.
If I'm correct, the crater is actually a circular-shaped area around the volcano's central vent. My answer is false
