Answer:

24.12 days

Explanation:

First off, let's find out how many decays the compound ; iodine131 undergoes to get to 17.5 percent of its original value.

Half life is simply the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

The half-life of iodine-131 is 8.04 days.

100% - 50%  (First Half life)

50%  - 25%  (Second Half life)

25%  - 17.5%  (Third Half life)

This mwans i would take three halff lives;

Time requred = 3 * Half life = 3 * 8.04 days = 24.12 days

Which one of the following Acids is most likely to hurt you? Acid A: 1.0 M; Acid B: 0.0001M
vaieri [72.5K]
Acid A, assuming the two acids have the same pH. The M stands for molarity which is how concentrated a substance is (basically the higher the molarity the more concentrated the acid is). However, pH refers to how acidic a substance is. If the two acids have different levels of acidity, the answer may be different.
