The activity of the sample when it was shipped from the manufacturer is 4.54 mCi
<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives that has elapsed </h3>
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
- Time (t) = 48 hours
- Half-life (t½) = 14.28 days = 14.28 × 24 = 342.72 hours
- Number of half-lives (n) =?
n = t / t½
n = 48 / 342.72
n = 0.14
<h3>How to determine the activity of the sample during shipping </h3>
- Number of half-lives (n) = 0.14
- Original activity (N₀) = 5.0 mCi
- Activity remaining (N) =?
N = N₀ / 2ⁿ
N = 5 / 2^0.14
N = 4.54 mCi
Thus, the activity of the sample during shipping is 4.54 mCi

Answer:
1 kiloliter = 1,000,000 milliliters
45 × 1,000,000
45 KL = 45,000,000 ML
The best explanation would be that Gases were released during the Chemical reaction, causing a loss of Mass.
Answer:
We can use heat = mcΔT to determine the amount of heat, but first we need to determine ΔT. Because the final temperature of the water is 55°C and the initial temperature is 20.0°C, ΔT is as follows:
ΔT = Tfinal − Tinitial = 55.0°C − 20.0°C = 35.0°C
given the specific heat of water as 1 cal/g·°C. Substitute the known values into heat = mcΔT and solve for amount of heat:
= heat=(75.0 g)(1 cal/ g· °C )(35.0°C) =
= 75x1x35=2625 cal
