a 32 gram radioactive sample has a half-life of 2 days how much of the original sample remains after 6 days

1 answer:

3 0

First, we will get the "n", the number of half lives, it is the elapsed time over the half life. In the problem, the time is measured in days, so we have

6/2 = 3

to get the ending amount of radioactive sample, we have

32g x (1/2)³ = 4 grams of radioactive sample ⇒ the amount left after 6 days

What happens in a chemical change that does not occur in a physical change?

Andrej [43]

Answer:

In a chemical reaction, there is a change in the composition of the substances in question; in a physical change there is a difference in the appearance, smell, or simple display of a sample of matter without a change in composition. Although we call them physical "reactions," no reaction is actually occurring.

List the 3 types of organisms and how they each get their energy. *<br> jejdjsjx pls hurryyyl

Helen [10]

Answer:

The three types of organisms in an ecosystem are producers, consumers, and decomposers.

Producers get their energy by using sunlight to make their own food from water and carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.

Consumers get their energy by eating plants and animals for food as they cannot make their own food.

Decomposers get their energy by eating/scavenging and breaking down dead and decaying plant and animal bodies.

Hope that helps.
