Iodine-131, a beta emitter, is one such product of nuclear fission, extremely dangerous because it is typically produced in huge

quantities and because it is incorporated in the human body in the thyroid gland. The half-life of 1311 is 8.04 days. What fraction (expressed as a decimal number) of the 1311 produced in a nuclear accident would remain after 60.0 days?

Answer:

0.00568

Explanation:

Recall that the fraction of radioactive material left after a time (t) is obtained from the formula;

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

Where;

N= mass of radioactive material left after a time t

No= mass of radioactive material initially present

t= time taken for N mass of radioactive substance to remain = 60.0 days

t1/2= half-life of the radioactive substance= 8.04 days

Note that the required fraction is N/No, hence;

N/No= (1/2)^60.0/8.04

N/No= (1/2)^7.46

N/No = 0.00568

PIT_PIT [208]

The given blank can be filled with selecting.  

It has been shown by Belyaev and Trut that foxes can be domesticated, over the time of various generations, by selecting and mating animals with certain traits, like responses to feeding, handling, and others.  

A sustained multi-generational association in which one group of species presumes a substantial extent of effect over the care and reproduction of another group to secure a more predictable supply of resources from that latter group is known as domestication.
