<h3>Answer:</h3>

1 grams Mercury-197

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

From the question,

The radioisotope is Mercury-197

The half life of Mercury-197 is 3 days

Starting mass is 32 grams

Time taken is 15 days

We are required to calculate the final mass of the radioisotope after 15 days.

  • Note that, half life is the time taken by radioisotope to decay by half its original amount.
  • In this case, the half life of mercury-197 is 3 days, therefore, it takes three days for a mass of mercury-197 to decay by half its original mass.

Therefore, using the formula;

Final amount = Starting mass × (1/2)^n

where n is the number of half-lives (ratio of time to half life)

In our case, n = 15 days ÷ 3 days

                      = 5

Therefore;

Final mass = 32 g × (1/2)^5

                  = 32 g × 1/32

                 = 1 g

Therefore, the amount of mercury-197 in the shipment that will arrive is 1 g.

If the lungs of a child hold 0.11 mol of air in a volume of 2.8 L, then the lungs of an average female adult, with a volume is 4
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

A childs lung can hold .11mols/ per 2.8 L so that gives us a molarity of .039M

A adults lungs can hold .18 mols /per 4.6 so that gives us .039M aswell meaining that the lung capacity between the two is not different.
