Hello!
The half-life is the time of half-disintegration, it is the time in which half of the atoms of an isotope disintegrate.
We have the following data:
mo (initial mass) = 20 g
m (final mass after time T) = 5 g
x (number of periods elapsed) = ?
P (Half-life) = ? (in minutes)
T (Elapsed time for sample reduction) = 8 minutes
Let's find the number of periods elapsed (x), let us see:






Now, let's find the half-life (P) of the radioactive sample, let's see:





I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)
Think it would be distillation
Answer:
The options are
A. a hypothesis
B. a theory
C. a research question
D. a scientific explanation
The answer is A. a hypothesis
Explanation:
A hypothesis is referred to as a brief explanation on the occurrence of an event.
In the example above using of warm water on plants was inferred to make it grow faster as hot water increases the metabolism.
