itium, 3H, was prepared and sealed in a container for a number of years. Tritium undergoes β decay with a half-life of 12.32 years. How long has the container been sealed if analysis of the contents shows there are 5.25 mol of 3H and 6.35 mol of 3He present? Multiple Choice A. 14.1 y B. 25.6 y C. 2.34 y D. 3.38 y E. 9.77 y

Answer:

option A

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

sample of tritium, ³H

t_{1/2} = 12.32 years

contents present of ³H = 5.25 mol

content of ³He = 6.35 mol

reaction

 ^3H\rightarrow \ ^3He

A₀ is the initial concentration

At is the concentration after time t

A₀ = 5.25 + 6.35 = 11.6 mol

At = 5.25

now,

  k = \dfrac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

  k = \dfrac{0.693}{12.32}

           k = 0.0563 /year

ln(\dfrac{A_o}{A_t}) = k t

t = \dfrac{1}{k} ln(\dfrac{A_o}{A_t})

t = \dfrac{1}{0.0563} ln(\dfrac{11.6}{5.25})

t = 14.1 yr

hence, the correct answer is option A

Gregg is a wedding photographer. He charges $500 for his basic package and $150 for each hour he is at the wedding. Which equati
aleksklad [387]
The equation that best fits the situation is w = 150 * 5 (or the other way around). Since the numbers that would be used are already stated, the equation would be as simple as that. We know that the operation would be multiplication because of the term used "150 for EACH hour" which usually indicates the operation is multiplication.

Hope I helped and good luck!

grandymaker [24]
It’s still 1/6 chance. The probability doesn’t go up or down, since a die will always have 6 sides.

Lana71 [14]
I think boys =18
          girls=12
boys :x
girls:y
student:z
the number of group for the boys :n
the numberof group for the girls :m
so x=(3/5)*z
    y=(2/5)* z
x/y=3/2
3y-2x=0
(1/10)*z*n=(3/5) *z
so n=6
(1/5)*z*m=(2/5)* z
put x=(1/10)*z*6
    y=(1/5)*z*2
 into 3y-2x=0 and z=30
 z=30 so x=(1/10)*30*6=18
               y=(1/5)*30*2=12

PLEASE HELP! ABC is Isosceles what is AB?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

AB = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an isosceles triangle, you can conclude that there will be two sides of equal length and two angles of equal measurement.

The circular marks on Angle C and Angle A represent congruence between the two angles (The are the same measurement.). From this, you can also conclude that their opposite sides are congruent as well.

From this information you can set up your equation:

AB = BC

Substitute in the corresponding values to solve for x:

3x - 4 = 5x - 10

-2x = -6

x = 3

Substitute x into 3x - 4 to find the length of AB:

AB = 3(3) - 4

AB = 9 - 4

AB = 5
