Answer:

9 days, or 3 half-lives

Explanation:

5.2x10^5=520000

6.5x10^4=65000

65000/520000=1/8, or 3 half-lives

3x3=9 days

I'm not the greatest at Chem but this seems more like math than Chem :)

Boron (B) has two isotopes, boron-10 and boron-11. The atomic weight of boron is ?
suter [353]

Answer:

Approximately 10,5

Explanation:

The question is not really very specific, because it would need the percentages of those isotopes in the nature. As they are not shown, it should be the median of those two numbers.

atomic weight ≈ \frac{10+11}{2} = 10,5

If you check a periodic table, you'll see it's actually 10,8, but that's because of the thing I told you at first (percentages missing).

Hope I could help.

Which is the least dense?<br><br> copper<br><br> mercury<br><br> water<br><br> wood
tamaranim1 [39]
Least dense means the one that is at the top. Wood floats on top of water, so wood would be the least dense. Water has a density of 1 and the others would all sink, so they're more dense. The answer is wood
