Answer:

12.5%

Explanation:

The half life of any reaction is the amount of time it takes to consume half of the starting material.

In this case, the original or starting percentage of material is 100%

100% - 50% : First Half Life

50% - 25%   : Second Half life

25% - 12.5% : Third Half life.

After three half lives have passes, the percentage of strontium-90 that remains in a sample is 12.5%

12.5% of strontium-90 would remain in a sample after three half-lives have passed. Half-life automatically means 50% of the original amount would remain.

Tanya [424]

Answer:- 71.7 calories

Solution:- it is a unit conversion problem where we need to convert joules into calories.

The unit conversion for these energy units is:

1 calorie = 4.184 joule

The given energy is 300 joules and has to be converted to calories. We will show the set up using dimensional analysis.

300joules(\frac{1calorie}{4.184joules})

= 71.7 calories

So, the energy in calories is 71.7.
