A sample of Francium-212 will decay to one sixteenth of its original amount after 80 minutes. What is the half-life of Francium-

212.
Chemistry

20 minutes.

The sample would lose one half the quantity of francium in each half-life.

1/16 = 1/2^{4} = 1/2 \times1/2 \times1/2 \times1/2

Thus a mass decrease by a factor of 16 would correspond to a period of four half-lives. It took 80 minutes for the sample to lose all these francium, therefore

t_{1/2} = 80/4 = 20 minutes.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Option "C" is the correct answer to the following question.

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure in an automobile tire (P) = 1.88 atm

Temperature (K) = 25°C = 273 + 25 = 298 Kelvin

New temperature (K1) = 37°C = 273 + 37 = 310 Kelvin

Find:

New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = ?

Computation:

\frac{P}{K}= \frac{P1}{K1} \\\\\frac{1.88}{298}= \frac{P1}{310}\\\\1.9557

New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = 1.9557

New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = 1.96 (Approx)
