For this question, assume that you have 1 compound. This compound is divided in half once, so you are left with 0.5. That 0.5 that remains is divided in half again, this is the second half-life, and you are left with 0.25. The final half life involves dividing 0.25 in half, which means you are left with 0.125. For the answer to make sense, you need to know your conversions between decimals and fractions. To make it simple, if you have 0.125 and you times it by 8, you are left with your initial value of 1. Therefore, after three half-lives, you are left with 1/8th of the compound.

PLEASE HELPP ASAP!!!!!What is the equation for density A. D=M/V B. D=V/M C. D= M/V2 D. D=1/2 MV2
mestny [16]

The correct answer is option A.

D = M/V

The density of a substance is the ratio of its mass to its volume.

Density = mass / volume

or D = M/V

The unit of density is gram per milliliter or g/ml, when mass is expressed in gram or g and the volume is expressed in milliliter ml.

If we know the mass and volume of a substance we can calculate its density using the formula for density.

Which elements are out of order in terms of atomic mass. co,Ni or Li,be or I,xe​
valkas [14]

Answer:

The pair co,Ni is out of order in terms of atomic mass

Explanation:

For co,Ni

Atomic mass of Co = 58.9331 u

Atomic mass of Ni = 58.6934

For Li,be

Atomic mass of Li = 6.941 u

Atomic mass of  be = 9.012182 u

For I,xe

Atomic mass of I =  126.90447 u

Atomic mass of Xe = 131.293 u

Hence, the pair co,Ni is out of order in terms of atomic mass
