1.1 / 2 = .7 --> 2.86 yrs

.7 / 2 = .45 —> 5.72 yrs

.45 / 2 = .225 —> 8.58 yrs

.225 / 2 = .1125 —> 11.44 yrs

So, for the sample of plutonium to reach .140 mg it should take a little less than 11.44 years.

Hope this helps

Answer:

weak acid

Explanation:

pH scale is from 0 to 14

pH =7 is for water which is neutral.  it is neither acidic or basic as the hydrogen ion concentration is equal to hydroxyl ion concentration.

Lesser the pH value than 7 greater the acidic nature. And greater the pH value  than 7 more the basic nature.

Given pH=3-7 So the indicated interval represents weakly acidic.

Barbecue is usually a summer activity, so we eliminate that.

It would be too cold for a picnic!

It would be too cold to go swimming, and that's more of a summer thing!

Skiing is a snow activity, and since it is winter, it is likely to know.
