Hey there!

A half-life means after a certain amount of time, half of that substance will be gone/changed after that time.

There are two half lives in 20 years because 20 ÷ 10 = 2.

So, we divide the 100g sample in half 2 times.

100 ÷ 2 = 50

50 ÷ 2 = 25

There will be 25g of the radioactive sample remaining after two half lives.

Hope this helps!

If the caffeine concentration in a particular brand of soda is 3.55 mg/oz, drinking how many cans of soda would be lethal? Assum
monitta

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 234.7 cans

Explanation:

data

caffeine concentration = 3.55 mg/oz

10.0 g of caffeine is lethal

there are 12 oz of caffeine in a can

Then

                    3.55 mg ----------------- 1 oz

                      x    mg  -----------------12 oz (in a can)

x = 42.6 mg of caffeine in a can

Convert it to grams 42,6 mg = 0.0426 g of caffeine in a can

Finally

            0.0426 g of caffeine ------------------  1 can

            10           g of caffeine -----------------    x

x = 10 x 1/0.0436 = 234.7 cans
