If a sample has 25% parent and 75% daughter, how many halflifes have gone by?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anit [1.1K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Two half lives.

Explanation:

It is known that the decay of isotopes and radioactive material obeys first order kinetics.

Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.

That means for a sample 100% to decay to 50 % it will take one half-life, and to decay the remaining 50% to 25% it will take another half-life.

So, for a sample has 25% parent and 75% daughter it will have two half-lives.

If a climate scientist says, "The CO2 concentration in 2018 was 407.4 ppm." What<br> do they mean? *
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Ppm <u>means the concentration of vapors or gases</u> expressed in parts per million of polluted air.

Explanation:

In Chemistry and Physics, part per million or PPM is a measure that expresses the number of units of a certain existing substance for every million units of the mixture. (Concentration)

In climate the equation is used so:

  • ppm = parts of polluted air / million parts of air .
  • ppm = Liters of polluted air / 10∧6 Liters  of air.

This is used to find the concentration of gases expressed as parts of gas per million parts of the

 polluted air.

In this case, it would be<u> 407.4L of CO2 per 10∧6L of air.</u>

Explain what will happen to the organisms that is affected by human activities.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Human activity is by far the biggest cause of habitat loss.

Humans are now responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and plant species. We take up more space on Earth for our homes and cities. We pollute habitats. ... Human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive.

Explanation:

Human activities are the various actions for recreation, living, or necessity done by people. For instance it includes leisure, entertainment, industry, recreation, war, and exercise.

Over time, destruction of such habitats leads to reduced biodiversity, weakening the Earth's ecosystems, and ultimately posing a major threat to human life. While, significant tracts of habitat have been lost, and along with them many species of plant and animal, steps can be taken to slow and even reverse the process.

One of the most significant ways in which humans have impacted on the lives of other species is by causing climate change. Many animals, including birds and frogs, now breed much earlier in spring in Britain than they did 20 years ago. Whether or not this is having a harmful effect on them has yet to be determined.

If a gas is initially at a pressure of nine ATM and a volume at 21 L at a temperature of 253K and the pressure is raise to 15 AT
Tom [10]

Answer:

15.0L

Explanation:

p/v = constan

(9*21)/253 =(15v)/ 302

v = (9*21*302)/(15*253)

v=15.0
