This is an easy half-life calculation because it involves an exact integer of half-lives.  1,104 days is precisely 8 half-lives.  After each half-life, one half of the original remains.
So, after 8 half-lives you will have 1 / 2^8 of the original material left.
So we start with 30 grams and 1 / 2^8 = <span> <span> <span> 0.00390625</span></span></span>.
We are therefore left with (30 * <span> <span> <span> 0.00390625) or </span></span></span> <span> <span> <span> 0.1171875 grams of the original 30 grams of polonium.   </span> </span> </span>

a) How many significant figures are in the numbers 99 and 100? (b) If the uncertainty in each number is 1, what is the percent u
levacccp [35]

Answer:

2, 3

1.01, 1

Percentage uncertainty

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The significant figures in the number 99 is 2

The significant figures in the number 100 is 3

b) Uncertainty in each of the numbers for both the numbers is 1

Percentage uncertainty

99

\text{Percentage uncertainty}=\frac{\text{Uncertainty}}{Value}\times 100 \\\Rightarrow \text{Percentage uncertainty}=\frac{1}{99}\times 100=1.01

Percentage uncertainty = 1.01

100

\text{Percentage uncertainty}=\frac{\text{Uncertainty}}{Value}\times 100 \\\Rightarrow \text{Percentage uncertainty}=\frac{1}{100}\times 100=1

Percentage uncertainty = 1

c) Percentage uncertainty is a better way to express the numbers as the significant figures do not show the actual value of the numbers.
