1. 200/2=100. 100/2=50. 50/2=25. So that's 3 to get to 25. 

2. 11.46/3=3.82

The answer is (2).

Answer : The correct option is, (2) 3.82 d

Solution : Given,

As we know that the radioactive decays follow first order kinetics.

So, the expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by :

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

where,

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decay process  = 11.46 days

a = initial amount of the reactant  = 200 g

a - x = amount left after decay process  = 25 g

Putting values in above equation, we get the value of rate constant.

k=\frac{2.303}{11.46}\log\frac{200}{25}=0.1814

Now we have to calculate the half life of a radioisotope.

Formula used : t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

Putting value of 'k' in this formula, we get the half life.

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{0.1814}=3.820

Therefore, the half-life of a radioisotope is, 3.820 d

How do you test a hypothesis using scientific inquiry
irina1246 [14]
Once you have constructed an effective hypothesis, the next step in the scientific inquiry process is to test the hypothesis through experimentation. This is a great opportunity for students to start a science notebook, if they have not yet started recording their progress. Steps to Identifying and Conducting an Appropriate Experiment to Test a Hypothesis 1) Present Hypotheses  Make a list of all potential hypotheses to be tested. 2) Make Predictions  For each hypothesis, ask what would be true if the hypothesis were true. 3) Write the Experimental Procedure  The experimental procedure is a step-by-step recipe for the science experiment. A good procedure contains enough detail that someone else could easily duplicate the experiment. Once you have formed a hypothesis, you will need to develop your experimental procedure to test whether your hypothesis is true or false. 4) Identify the Independent and Dependent Variables  The first step of designing the experimental procedure involves planning how to change the independent variable and how to measure the impact that this change has on the dependent variable. To guarantee a fair test when conducting the experiment, make sure that the only thing changing is the independent variable. All controlled variables must remain constant. 5) Design the Experiments  How can you identify an appropriate experiment that will effectively test your hypothesis? Begin by asking yourselves, “What can I do that will give me one result if my hypothesis is true, and a different result if my hypothesis is false?” Design at least one possible experiment for each hypothesis. Be sure that each experiment tests only one hypothesis.

The density of benzene at 15 ∘C∘C is 0.8787 g/mL. Calculate the mass of 0.1700 LL of benzene at this temperature. Express your a
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Mass of benzene is: 149.3 g

Explanation:

Let's use density to calculate mass.

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = Density . volume

Be careful, because density is in g/mL and the volume is in L. So let's convert the L to mL: 0.170 L . 1000 mL / 1L = 170 mL

0.8787 g/mL . 170 mL = Mass of benzene

Mass of benzene is: 149.3 g

Why does the melting of the polar ice caps facilitate the absorption of CO2 by ocean waters?​
Korvikt [17]

hi brainly user! ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა

⊱┈────────────────────────⊰

Answer:

The melting of the caps increases the concentration of CO2 in the water, making its absorption faster.

⊱┈────────────────────────⊰

Explanation:

<h2><u>CO2 absorption</u><u> </u></h2>

The polar caps of our planet have in their composition several elements, among them the CO2 that is absorbed by the atmosphere. Cold waters, which are present in the Arctic, have an easier time absorbing CO2 compared to other waters.

When glaciers melt, the CO2 that is present in the mixture is dissolved in the ocean, increasing its concentration. The cold waters that came from the ice caps increase the absorption of CO2.

When doing a titration what is the equivalency point of the neutralization reaction?
KengaRu [80]
The equivalency point is at the point of the titration where the amount of titrant added neutralize the solution. When it’s a strong acid strong base titration, the equivalence point will be 7. When it is a weak acid strong base, the equivalence point it more basic (the exact number depends on what acid and base you use). And when it is a strong acid weak base, the equivalence number is more acid (the exact number depends on what acid and base you use). Hope this helps!
