This question is missing the part that actually asks the question. The questions that are asked are as follows:
(a) How much of a 1.00 mg sample of americium remains after 4 day? Express your answer using 2 significant figures.
(b) How much of a 1.00 mg sample of iodine remains after 4 days? Express your answer using 3 significant figures.
We can use the equation for a first order rate law to find the amount of material remaining after 4 days:
[A] = [A]₀e^(-kt)
[A]₀ = initial amount
k = rate constant
t = time
[A] = amount of material at time, t.
(a) For americium we begin with 1.00 mg of sample and must convert time to units of years, as our rate constant, k, is in units of yr⁻¹.
4 days x 1 year/365 days = 0.0110
A = (1.00)e^((-1.6x10^-3)(0.0110))
A = 1.0 mg
The decay of americium is so slow that no noticeable change occurs over 4 days.
(b) We can simply plug in the information of iodine-125 and solve for A:
A = (1.00)e^(-0.011 x 4)
A = 0.957 mg
Iodine-125 decays at a much faster rate than americium and after 4 days there will be a significant loss of mass.
<h2>Answer : By weighing the costs and benefits of an environmental issue
</h2><h3>
Explanation :</h3>
The law makers usually conduct many studies before a law is imposed. They try to explore many other options available to the current environmental issue and then come to a conclusion to make a law.
They also weigh the cost aspect along with the benefit of the ongoing environmental issue. They try to come up with something which appears to be cost effective and result bearing.
Answer:
because a fruit holds the seeds it needs to reproduce and continue living.
the plants would grow and reproduce working together forming nutrients from their dropped leaves / branches etc causing insects to come along and do the same along with animals and a keystone species to form a revolving ecosystem continuing an energy moving process
