T = half life of cobalt-60 = 5.3 years

λ = decay constant for cobalt-60 = ?

decay constant is given as

λ = 0.693/T

inserting the values

λ = 0.693/5.3 = 0.131

N₀ = initial amount of cobalt-60 = 10 g

t = time of decay = 21.2 years

N = final amount of cobalt-60 after time "t"

final amount of cobalt-60 after time "t" is given as

N = N₀ e^{-\lambda t}

inserting the values

N = 10 e^{-(0.131) (21.2)}

N = 10 e^{-(0.131) (21.2)}

N = 10 x 0.0622 g

N = 0.63 g

hence

C. 0.63 g

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Autotrophs

Explanation:

When you go down a food chain continuing to ask "what does it eat?" the last living thing that you will land upon is an autotroph.

Autotrophs are the primary producers as they (photoautotrophs) use the energy either from the sun to prepare  there food by the process of photosynthesis or, more rarely, obtain chemical energy through oxidation (chemoautotrophs) to make organic substances from inorganic ones.

Autotrophs get consumed by the primary consumers in the food chain.

IM SOO CONFUSED PLS HELP!! The mass of the nucleus is approximately EQUAL to the mass number multiplied by ____ Atomic Mass unit
nevsk [136]

Answer:

option a.

Explanation:

We can think of an atom as a nucleus (where the protons and neutrons are) and some electrons orbiting it.

We also know that the mass of an electron is a lot smaller than the mass of a proton or the mass of an electron.

So, if all the protons and electrons of an atom are in the nucleus, we know that most of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus of that atom.

Then we define the mass number, which is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Such that the mass of a proton (or a neutron) is almost equal to 1u

Then if we define A as the total number of protons and neutrons, and each one of these weights about 1u

(where u = atomic mass unit)

Then the weight of the nucleus is about A times 1u, or:

A*1u = A atomic mass units.

Then the correct option is:

The mass of the nucleus is approximately EQUAL to the mass number multiplied by __1__ Atomic Mass unit.

option a.
