Answer:

4860 years

Explanation:

From

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

Where:

No= mass as time t=0

N= mass at time t

t= time

t1/2= half life

0.125/1 = (1/2)^t/1620

1/8 = (1/2)^t/1620

(1/2)^3= (1/2)^t/1620

3= t/1620

t= 3×1620

t= 4860 years

We can calculate years by using the half-life equation. It is expressed as:

A = Ao e^-kt

<span>where A is the amount left at t years, Ao is the initial concentration, and k is a constant.

</span>From the half-life data, we can calculate for k.

1/2(Ao) = Ao e^-k(1620)
<span>k = 4.28 x 10^-4
</span>
0.125 = 1 e^-<span>4.28 x 10^-4 (</span>t)
t = 4259 years

How does chemistry affect our world?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Research is constantly deepening our understanding of chemistry, and leading to new discoveries. Chemistry will help us solve many future problems, including sustainable energy and food production, managing our environment, providing safe drinking water and promoting human and environmental health.Chemistry is a big part of your everyday life. You find chemistry in daily life in foods you eat, air you breathe, soap, your emotions and literally every object you can see or touch. ... Food is made from chemicals. Many of the changes you observe in the world around you are caused by chemical reactions.By observing chemical reactions, we are able to understand and explain how the natural world works. Chemical reactions turn food into fuel for your body, make fireworks explode, cause food to change when it is cooked, make soap remove grime, and much more.

Based on the results you observed for the iodine test and Benedict’s test, is it better to detect enzyme activity by measuring t
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Is better use the Benedict's test by the increase in the amount of the products if the enzyme is a reductase

Explanation:

The Benedict's test works by the reaction of the reducing sugars with the ion cupric of the reactive. If the enzyme is a reductase (degrades polysaccharides into bi o monosaccharides), it should cut the polysaccharide bond and the products would react with the Benedict's cupric ion

I hope you undestand me

A student jumps of a sled toward the west after it stops at the bottom of an icy hill. Based on the law of action-reaction, in w
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

East

Explanation:

Given Newton's third law of motion; "Action and reaction are equal and opposite", when a student jumps off a sled toward the west after it stops at the bottom of an icy hill, the sled will move in the East direction.

This is because, the force exerted on the sled is a reaction force and is opposite in direction to the force that thrusts the boy westward though equal in magnitude with the former.

The ion [Co(NH3)6]2+
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Explanation:

The answer would be  B.

As paramagnetic with 3 unpaired electrons. Since there are 6 ligands around the Co+2 ion it isoctahedral and these ligands are neutral. This makes the overall charge on the complex +2 and therefore comes from the configuration for Co+2 which is [Ar] 3d7. Since it is in high spin you must fill all the orbitals with at least one electron and then pair up any that remain. If you do this, 3 unpaired electrons remain. Para magnetism occurs in substances with unpaired electrons.
