b) 1.5x10^9
c) 3.9x10^4
To determine what percentage of an isotope remains after a given length of time, you can use the formula
p = 2^(-x)
where
p = percentage remaining
x = number of half lives expired.
The number of half lives expired is simply
x = t/h
where
x = number of half lives expired
t = time spent
h = length of half life.
So the overall formula becomes
p = 2^(-t/h)
And since we're starting with 1.1x10^10 atoms, we can simply multiply that by the percentage. So, the answers rounding to 2 significant figures are:
a) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-5/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 0.718873349 = 7.9x10^9
b) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-30/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 0.138011189 = 1.5x10^9
c) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-190/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 3.57101x10^-6 = 3.9x10^4</span>
Answer:
C is the answer to the question
I’m guessing it would be A because the river discharge tends to gather near coastlines where the river ends
Answer:
Expand
Explanation:
When you heat up a substance it expands
You must verify that the number of atoms of each type is equal on both sides of the chemical equation: same number of C, same number of H and same number of O on both sides.
<span>A. C4H6 + 5.5O2 ---> 4CO2 + 3H2O
element reactant side product side
C 4 4
H 6 3*2 = 6
O 5.5 * 2 = 11 4*2 + 3 = 11
Then, this equation is balanced.
</span>Do the same with the other equations if you want to verify that they are not balanced.
Answer: option A.
