<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.

riadik2000 [5.3K]
Oxygen is needed to carry out a lot of biochemical processes in the body. If the amount of oxygen available to the blood decreases significantly a lot of things will go wrong in the body. For instance, lack of adequate oxygen will lead to the death of neurons which will eventually leads to brain cells death and irreparable brain damage. Oxygen is also needed for cellular respiration, without respiration, there will not be oxygen for carrying out various cellular activities and this will result into death. Oxygen deprivation will also leads to difficulty in breathing and other associated problems.
