Answer:Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that forms from the compaction of silt and clay-size mineral particles that we commonly call "mud." This composition places shale in a category of sedimentary rocks known as "mudstones." ... "Fissile" means that the rock readily splits into thin pieces along the laminations.
Explanation:
Solutions for your questions are the following:
1. remaining amount is equal to:960 g : 100% = 30 g : xx = 30 g * 100% / 960 g
= 3.125%
= 0.03125
Now, we use this formula to calculate the number of half-lives:(1/2)ⁿ = x,
so,(1/2)ⁿ = 0.03125
to calculate n, use this equation:
n*log(1/2) = log(0.03125) n = log(0.03125)/log(1/2)
= log(0.03125)/log(0.5)
= -1.505/-0.301
n=5
Ifn = 5T = 15 min
Then
L = T/nL = 15 min/5
= 3 minutes
2. You should pick filtration. It is use to separate heterogeneous mixtures just like in the problem stated.

Ore is a deposit in Earth's crust of one or more valuable minerals. The most valuable ore deposits contain metals crucial to industry and trade, like copper, gold, and iron. Copper ore is mined for a variety of industrial uses. Copper, an excellent conductor of electricity, is used as electrical wire.
