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!

Why do atoms always contain the same number of electrons and protons?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle and a proton is a positively charged subatomic particle. Positive charge(s) attract negative charge(s) and vice versa. The proton and neutron stay together and attract one another to give the atom an overall charge of zero (neutral). Which is the charge of an atom. When there is an unequal number of protons and neutrons an ion is formed. If the number of protons are more than the electron, a positively charged ion called cation is formed. On the other hand, if the number of electrons are more than the protons a negatively charged ion called anion is formed.

Iron-59 is used in medicine to diagnose blood circulation disorders. The half life of iron-59 is 44.5 days. How much of a 2.000
kolezko [41]

Answer:

0.258 mg of iron remains.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we can use the formula

M₂ = M₀ * 0.5^{\frac{t}{44.5} }

Where M₂ is the mass remaining, M₀ is the initial mass, and t is time in days.

Using the data given by the problem:

M₂ = 2.000 mg * 0.5^{\frac{133.5}{44.5} }

M₂ = 0.258 mg
