After 1 half life, 1/2
After 2 half lives, 1/4
After 3 half lives, 1/8
Answer:

Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it turns out firstly necessary for us to set the equation for the calculation of density and mass divided by volume:

Thus, we can find the mass of the unknown by subtracting the total mass of the liquid to the mass of the flask and the liquid:

So that we are now able to calculate the density in g/mL first:

Now, we proceed to the conversion to lb/in³ by using the following setup:

Answer:
The nuclear charge increases from boron to carbon, but there is no additional shielding( that is no additional shells).
Explanation:
First of all, we must know the electron configuration of carbon and boron.
Boron- 1s2 2s2 2p1
Carbon- 1s2 2s2 2p2
Moving from boron to carbon, the effective nuclear charge increases without a corresponding increase in the number of shells. Remember that shielding increases with increase in the number of intervening shells between the outermost electron and the nucleus. Since there isn't an increase in shells, boron experience a lower screening effect.
From
Zeff= Z- S
The Z for carbon is 6 while for boron is 5 even though both have the same number of screening electron S(4 screening electrons). Hence it is expected the Zeff(effective nuclear charge) for boron will be less than that of carbon.
