Answer:

0.033g

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since 11 mg per kilogram of body weight has the given lethality, the mg that turn out lethal for a chicken weighting 3 kg is computed by using a rule of three:

11mg\longrightarrow 1kg\\\\?\ \ \ \ \ \ \longrightarrow 3kg

Thus, we obtain:

?=\frac{3kg*11mg}{1kg}\\ \\?=33mg

That in grams is:

=33mg*\frac{1g}{1000mg} \\\\=0.033g

Regards.

if the nuclide has a half-life of 8.0 days , what mass of the nuclide remains in the patient at 6:00 p.m. the next day? (assume
nata0808 [166]

The mass of the nuclide that will remain in the patient at 6:00 p.m. the next day is 94 g

<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives that has elapsed</h3>

We'll begin by obtaining the number of half lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

  • Half-life (t½) = 8 days = 8 × 24 = 192 hours
  • Time (t) = 6 pm next day = 18 hours
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 18 / 192

n = 0.09375

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 100 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 0.09375
  • Amount remaining (N) = ?

N = N₀ / 2^n

N = 100 / (2^0.09375)

N = 94 g

Thus, 94 g of the nuclide is remaining in the patient's body,

On Earth, Locations M and O are in areas that receive sunlight that is spread out. Which statement is most likely true about the
Ahat [919]

A-Locations M and O are at the poles.

Explanation:

Locations M and O are located at the poles because they receive sunlight that is spread out over a large surface area. The poles receive sunlight at an angle to the surface and it causes the rays of the sun to spread out in all direction.

  • At the equator, sunlight impinges directly on the surface and the solar radiation here is very much.
  • It is important to know that the sun is overhead directly at the equator.
  • The earth is tilted at an angle to sun and therefore, areas around the polar region will receive sunlight that is spread out in different directions over a large area.
  • Away from the pole, the equator is directly facing the sun and it receives direct sunlight.
