a) To find  the mass after t years:

we will use this formula:

A = Ao / 2^n 

when A =the amount remaining

and Ao = the initial amount

and n = t / t(1/2)

by substitution:

∴ A = 200 mg/ 2^(t/30y)


b) Mass after 90 y :

by  using the previous formula and substitute t by 90 y

A = 200mg/ 2^(90y/30y)

∴ A = 25 mg

C) Time for 1 mg remaining:

when A= Ao/ 2^(t/t(1/2)

so, by substitution:

1 mg = 200 mg / 2^(t/30y)

∴2^(t/30y) = 200 mg  by solving for t

∴ t = 229 y

Can an ether form hydrogen bonds in the same way as does an ester
belka [17]

Yes, an OH group from ethanol can form a hydrogen bond to the ether O atom in the same way as it can do so with the single-bonded O atom in the ester.

The O atom in the carbonyl group of the ester can also form H-bonds with ethanol.

How can you tell where there is a steep slope on a contour map?
Katena32 [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

Steep slopes on the contour map are identified using contour lines which are closely spaced.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Contour map also known as topographic maps are used to represent the three-dimensional portion of the earth’s surface in two-dimensional space. This map is used to represent the surface of the land such as steep, slopes, valleys. The contour maps are used in geological studies to understand the configuration of the earth's surface. Terms like map scale, vertical scale, contour lines are used on the contour map. Elevations are represented using contour lines. Contour lines placed very close to each represent the steep slopes and contour lines that are spaced farther away from each other represent the gentle slopes.
