Answer:

Time taken = 174 days

Explanation:

Half life is the time take for a subsrtance taken to decay to half of it's origial or initial concentration.

In this probel, the haf life is 87 days, this means that after evry 87 days, the concentration or mass of sulfur-35 decreases by half.

If the starting mass is 1.00g, then we have;

1.00g --> 0.5g (First Half life)

0.5g --> 0.25g (Second half life)

This means that sulphur-335 would undergo two half lives for 0.25g to remain.

Total time taken = Number of half lives  * Half life

Time taken = 2 * 87

Time taken = 174 days

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The half-life time, the team equired for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, is 79.67 seconds.

Explanation:

The half-life time = the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value. Half of it's value = 50%.

To calculate the half-life time we use the following equation:

[At]=[Ai]*e^(-kt)

with [At] = Concentration at time t

with [Ai] = initial concentration

with k = rate constant

with t = time

We want to know the half-life  time = the time needed to have 50% of it's initial value

50 = 100 *e^(-8.7 *10^-3 s^- * t)

50/100 = e^(-8.7 *10^-3 s^-1 * t)

ln (0.5) = 8.7 *10^-3 s^-1 *t

t= ln (0.5) / -8.7 *10^-3  = 79.67 seconds

The half-life time, the team equired for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, is 79.67 seconds.

What is the difference among the states of matter at the atomic level?
kolbaska11 [484]
States of Matter
Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of microscopic particles, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases.
Note that:

Particles in a:
gas are well separated with no regular arrangement.
liquid are close together with no regular arrangement.
solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
Particles in a:
gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds.
liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other.
solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.
Liquids and solids are often referred to as condensed phases because the particles are very close together.
The following table summarizes properties of gases, liquids, and solids and identifies the microscopic behavior responsible for each property.

Some Characteristics of Gases, Liquids and Solids and the Microscopic Explanation for the Behavior
gas liquid solid
assumes the shape and volume of its container
particles can move past one another assumes the shape of the part of the container which it occupies
particles can move/slide past one another retains a fixed volume and shape
rigid - particles locked into place
compressible
lots of free space between particles not easily compressible
little free space between particles not easily compressible
little free space between particles
flows easily
particles can move past one another flows easily
particles can move/slide past one another

Which substance can not be broken down by a chemical change
Marina CMI [18]
A substance that cannot be broken down into even by chemical means is called an element. About 90 elements on the Periodic Table can be found naturally on Earth. Three of the most common ones are aluminium, silicon and oxygen.
Sorry I couldn't give you a more specific answer as your question wasn't multiple choice.
