Answer:

200 Days

Explanation:

Usually not so good in chemistry, but this is math!

Half life means in this time half goes away.  What happens when two half lives pass?  half of what was remaining goes away.  Maybe an example will make it more clear.

Say we start with 100 grams.  After the amount of time for the half life to pass completes, we have 50, or half of the original amount.  The half life time passes again and THAT gets cut in half to 25 grams.  this is 1/4 of the original (Hey, what we're looking for.)  Just to make it clear what is happening after another half life 1/8 remains, so it goes from The starting amount to 1/2 to 1/4 to 1/8 and so on, it keeps getting cut in half.

So how many times do we have to cut 1 in half until we get to 1/4?  Twice as was shown before.  Now, two half lives for this element is what?  100+100 days.  So 200 Days.

Hydrologers study the availability of fresh water on the planet.
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Hydrologists study how water interacts with the earth's crust. For example, they may study how rainfall and snowfall cause erosion, create caves, percolate through soil and rock to become groundwater, or eventually reach the sea.Hydrologists strive to improve water quality and increase our access to water so that we can continue to make use of it in all the ways that are necessary to our lives. A hydrologist measures the stream flow in a tributary to the Coeur d'Alene River. layers of gases surrounding a planet or other celestial body

Guillaume Amontons first took a stab at measuring absolute zero in 1702. What would be the most reasonable way it would have bee
Tema [17]

The most reasonable way to measure absolute zero would have been to extrapolate the ideal gas law.

<h3>What is Absolute zero?</h3>

This is referred to the temperature at which a thermodynamic system has the lowest form of energy.

Guillaume Amontons used gas equation to prove that absence of heat was theoretically possible which would have involved only extrapolating the ideal gas law.

Arrange the processes of the water cycle in the correct order, starting with the heat from the Sun.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

There are four processes in water cycle. Starting from the heat from the sun is the process of evaporation.

Evaporation: In this process, light from the sun evaporate water from oceans, rivers, lakes, ice and soil into water vapor. Water vapor molecules combine to form clouds.

Condensation: In this process, water vapor from clouds cool down and turns  back into liquid water in the form of water droplets. These water droplets stays in the air.  Precipitation: In this process, water droplets they combine in the air, they become too heavy to stay in the air. Therefore, they fall in the form of rain, snow or other form.

Collection: In this process, water that falls as rain, snow or other form comes back in the ocean, lakes, river or any other water body. Water will also be absorbed by soil and will be collected as ground water.
