To answer this question, you need to know the concept of half-life, which is how a radioactive material decreases in mass over time.

The half life of U-235 is 703.8 million years. The first part of this problem is to find the scale factor. To do this, divide the time that has past by the half life, like this:

\frac{750}{703.8}  = 1.066
Now, take this scale factor and multiply it by the current mass, like this:

50 \times 1.066 = 53.3
This number is what you add to the current mass to get the original mass. That is because the scale factor showed us that it was just over one half life. Since after one half life, the mass is cut in half, and this is over one half life, when we add to the original it will be a little over double. This equation illustrates the final addition:

50 + 53.3 = 103.3
I hope this helped you. Fell free to ask any further questions.

Describe any new ways you can change the polarity of the three-atom molecule.
yan [13]

-  By changing three atom bond angle , we can change molecular polarity. if bond angle is 120° and all atom has same electronegativity, the resultant polarity ( dipole moment ) become zero. we can change bond anngle either less than or greater than 120°, but not exactly 120

-  Replacing one or more atom with different atoms having electro negativity values also make molecular poles.

-  By placing molecules under external electric field or magnetic field also causes to the molecule.
