Explanation:
The pH is a 1 to 14 scale that measures how acidic or basic is a solution, at lowest number the solution will be acid, in 7 the solution will be neutral, and in higher values will be basic. It is a logarithmic scale, so with each number you move, the acidity or basicity will be increased by a factor of 10. So, lemon juice is more acidic than orange juice by a factor of 100.
Answer: 1.414x10^24 molecules in 94.4g MgO
Explanation: molar mass MgO 40.204
molecules in 40.204 g MgO = avogadro number
molecules in 94.4 g MgO = (94.4/40.204)*avogadro number
(94.4/40.204)*6.02214076*10^23 = 14.14x10^23
Answer:
gametes have to become haploid - they have to reduce their genetic material to a single copy, while somatic cells are diploid

<h3>
Answer:</h3>
2000 atoms
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
We are given the following;
Initial number of atoms of radium-226 as 8000 atoms
Time taken for the decay 3200 years
We are required to determine the number of atoms that will remain after 3200 years.
We need to know the half life of Radium
- Half life is the time taken by a radio active material to decay by half of its initial amount.
- Half life of Radium-226 is 1600 years
- Therefore, using the formula;
Remaining amount = Original amount × 0.5^n
where n is the number of half lives
n = 3200 years ÷ 1600 years
= 2
Therefore;
Remaining amount = 8000 atoms × 0.5^2
= 8000 × 0.25
= 2000 atoms
Thus, the number of radium-226 that will remain after 3200 years is 2000 atoms.
