Answer:Carbon dioxide extinguishes work by displacing oxygen, or taking away the oxygen element of the fire triangle. The carbon dioxide is also very cold as it comes out of the extinguisher, so it cools the fuel as well

The half-life of radioactive 55Cr is 1.8 hours. The delivery of a sample of this isotope from the reactor to your laboratory req
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The minimum amount of such material that should be shipped is 63.9 mg≅ 64 mg.

Explanation:

Given Data:

Half life=1.8 hours

Formula:

Half life=0.693/k

Where:

k is rate constant

k=0.693/1.8

k=0.385 hr^-1

Formula to find initial concentration:

ln\frac{A}{A_o}=-kt

Where:

A is final concentration

A_o is initial concentration

t is time

Taking exponential on both sides:

\frac{A}{A_o}=e^{-kt}\\ A_o=\frac{A}{e^{-kt}}\\ A_o=63.9 mg

The minimum amount of such material that should be shipped is 63.9 mg≅ 64 mg.
