A scientist digs up sample of arctic ice that is 458,000 years old. He takes it to his lab and finds that it contains 1.675 gram

s of krypton-81.
If the half-life of krypton-81 is 229,000 years, how much krypton-81 was present when the ice first formed?

Use the formula N = N0 .

Answer:

6.70 grams of krypton-81 was present when the ice first formed

Explanation:

Let use the below formula to find the amount of sample

N= N_0(\frac{1}{2})^n

where

n = \frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}

here

t =  458,000 years

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = 229,000

\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}} = \\frac{ 458,000}{229,000}

n = \frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}} = 2.000

Now substituting the values

1.675 = N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{2.000}}

1.675 = N_0\times (0.2500)

N_0= \frac{1.675}{0.2500}

N_0=6.70

What are the four most common problems that can arise in your motor design?
Nuetrik [128]

Electric motors are an essential part of our daily life as many systems, applications, and services depend on them. Motors today have a long service life and require a minimum level of maintenance to make sure that they perform efficiently. In large buildings, motors have to be maintained on a regular basis because they need to be in operation all the time; one small problem could cause a great loss to the organization.

Usually in large organizations, a motor maintenance program is carried out in which the causes of motor failures are identified and some necessary steps are taken to avoid them or lower their impact. Motors need to be inspected regularly, and other maintenance activities need to be performed to ensure efficient operation. Whenever a problem occurs, it should be corrected immediately to avoid further loss.

Two chemist are trying to determine if their water sample is a mixture or pure substance. In their investigation they first filt
Effectus [21]

The correct answer is option B. Dirty water is a mixture of solid particles and liquid. It is both a mixture and pure substance.

The dirty water sample has both gravel and liquid water in it. After filtration the gravel is removed so the water sample looks clearer than before filtration. Liquid water is a pure substance because it is a compound that is made up of elements hydrogen and oxygen. Now the gravel is only physically combined with the liquid water, thus giving the water sample properties of a mixture. And like any mixture, gravel is physically separated through filtration from the liquid water.

Thus the water sample of the chemists is both a mixture and pure substance.
