Ln(800/3200) = - kt
t = 24 years.
ln(0.25) = -k*24
(- 1.3863) = -k*24
1.3863  / 24 = k
0.05776 = k

ln(0.5) = -k*t
-0.6931 = - 0.05776 t
12 = t

I don't know if you can just look at the question and know the answer. If 24 years is a quarter life then is it obvious that the 1/2 life is 12 years? It might be, but the method I've used works for sure.

Select the correct answer.
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The unit used to measure atomic mass is the atomic mass unit (amu). A single amu is equivalent to 1/12 the mass of an atom from the carbon-12 isotopIsotopes with different numbers of protons and neutrons will have an actual mass slightly different from the atomic mass calculated in atomic mass units.

How many kilograms of a fertilizer are made of pure P2O5 would be required to supply 1.69 kilogram of phosphorus to the soil?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

3.89 kg P2O5 must be used to supply 1.69 kg Phosphorus to the soil.

Explanation:

The molecular mass of P2O5 is

P2 = 2* 31 =           62

O5 = 5 *<u> 16 =         80</u>

Molecular Mass = 142

Set up a Proportion

142 grams P2O5 supplies 62 grams of phosphorus

x    kg P2O5        supplies 1.69 kg of phosphorus

Though this might be a bit anti intuitive, you don't have to convert the units for this question. The ratio is all that is important.

142/x = 62/1.69            Cross multiply

142 * 1.69 = 62x           combine the left

239.98 = 62x               Divide by 62

239.98/62 = x

3.89 kg of P2O5 must be used.

Why would defective collagen proteins affect an individuals joints?
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Defective collagen proteins affect an individuals joints, as <u>collagen is an important component protein in body</u><u> connective tissues</u>

Explanation:

Collagen is a crucial protein in the extracellular matrix of various connective tissues in body (tendons, ligaments, muscles). It constitutes major protein component in mammals body.

Collagen Vascular disease is a group of diseases affecting 'collagen' connecting tissue. Apart from inheritance, they can con occur due to autoimmune disease. This implies that body's immune system fights against itself & mistakenly damages its own tissues. So, these diseases have a huge bearing on body joints components. Eg : Lupus , Arthritis are common collagen vascular diseases. Arthritis mostly affects adults above 30 years of age, lupus can be diagnosed in younger people above 15 years of age also.
