If the half-life of hydrogen-3 is 11.8 years, after two half-lives the radioactivity of a sample will be reduced to one-half of

maw [93]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Half life is the time period at which the concentration of the radioactive substance in decay reduced to half.

<u>Thus, if the hydrogen-3 has gone 2 half lives, it means that it has first reduced to its half and then again the half of what it was, i.e. 1/4</u>

Thus, after two successive half-lives, the concentration must be 1/4 of the initial concentration and hence, the statement is false.

You burn a 15g jellybean to warm 50 mL of water, which increases the temperature of the water 25 °C. How many calories of heat a

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

$Q = 375\,cal$

Explanation:

The quantity of heat transfered from the jellybean to the water is:

$Q = \rho\cdot V \cdot c\cdot \Delta T$

$Q = \left(1\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}}\right)\cdot (15\,cm^{3})\cdot \left(1\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ} C} \right)\cdot (25\,^{\circ}C )$

$Q = 375\,cal$
