The decay curve is a graph showing the relationship of the amount of a substance like Phosphorus-32 with respect to time. Through time, the amount decreases. If the curve was given, you will just have to locate the half of the original amount in the y-axis and connect it to the curve. Then, you move it downwards to the x-axis to determine the time. The time at which the amount of Phosphorus-32 left is reduced to half is called the half-life.

But this have been experimented and there is already an empirical value for this. The half-life of Phosphorus-32 is 14.29 days.

Pls assist if you can.<br>Reasons why hydrogen was chosen as a standard reference to other elements
MrMuchimi

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Hydrogen either reacts with or is formed by reactions with many other elements, so chemists could use it directly to determine their relative masses.
  • Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass, so it was convenient to give H a relative atomic mass of 1 and assign those of other elements as multiples of this number.

The O = 16 scale became the standard in 1903 and carbon-12 was chosen in 1961.

Copper sulfate can crystalize as an anhydrate (no water in the crystal) or as three different hydrates (varying amounts of water
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Two factors that might have a affect of which copper sulphate mineral will occur at a given location  is:

A. Copper sulphate high solubility in water

B. Also it binds nicely with the sediments  or the crystal.

Explanation:

As it is mentioned here that copper sulphate can be crystallized as an anhydrate which means that their  is no waterin those crystals or can be as of those three different hydrates whose crystal structure varies with the amount of water present in it.

The four forms are also given of the copper sulphate are:

  • Bonatite
  • Boothite
  • Chalcanthite
  • Chalcocyanite

So, the two factors that might give an affect which type of copper sulphate  mineral willoccur at a given location is:

A. The copper sulphate high solubility in water.

B. It binds extremely nicely with the sediments or say to the crystal. It is  also regulated by plants.

The red arrow is pointed at different locations of an atom of Helium. Where is it pointing to the GREATEST concentration of atom
Mama L [17]

Answer:

A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example  in case of Helium:

The 1st one diagram shows that arrow is pointing with in nucleus. The helium nucleus contain two protons and two neutrons. Thus maximum mass is present with in nucleus. while two electrons are revolve around the nucleus and mass of electron is negligible.
