Answer:

3.125% will remain after 125 days

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of Th-234 = 25 days

Percent of thorium remain after 125 days = ?

Solution:

Number of half lives = T elapsed / half life

Number of half lives = 125 days / 25 days

Number of half lives = 5

At time zero =100%

At 1st half life = 100%/2 = 50%

At second half life = 50%/2 = 25%

At third half life = 25%/ 2 = 12.5%

At 4th half life = 12.5% /2 = 6.25%

At 5th half life = 6.25% /2 = 3.125%

Mark the statement as true or false All of the proposed ideas by Dalton, Thompson, and Rutherford are still used in the modern t
kvv77 [185]

False

Although we use many of their ideas to describe atoms today, such as the existence of a tiny, dense nucleus in an atom (proposed by Rutherford), or the notion that all atoms of an element are identical (proposed by Dalton), some of their ideas have been rejected by the modern theory of the atom.

For example, Thompson came up with the plum pudding model to describe an atom, which resembled a sphere of positive charge with electrons embedded in it. We know now, however, that atoms are mostly empty space with a tiny, dense nucleus.

Another example is Dalton's atomic theory, which stated that atoms are indivisible particles. However, this was disproved by the discovery of subatomic particles.

Answer: I just took the test. The answer is D! (A single replacement reaction takes place because sodium is more reactive than hydrogen.)

How do you determine how much alum can be dissolved in 10 ml of hot deionized water to make a saturated solution??
xeze [42]
You need to monitor the solution to see when the crystals start gathering at the bottom of the solution. You can slowly add alum until it stops dissolving. The point just before it starts its sedimentation at the bottom is the point when the solution is saturated.
