60 days have passed. In every 12 days the radioisotope loses half of its life. So in the first 12 days, from 160 grams it decreases to half so it becomes 80 grams. The second 12 days, from 80 grams, it decreases to half and becomes 40 g. The third 12 days, from 40 it becomes half to 20 g. The fourth 12 days, from 20 g it becomes half to 10 g. And in the fifth 12 days, from 10 g it becomes half to 5 grams. So 5 times it became half.
5 x 12 ( days)= 60 days

Using the following combustion reaction, describe how it follows the laws of conservation of mass and energy. CH 4 +2O 2 CO 2 +2
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that "mass in a system remains constant and that the mass of the product is remains the same as that of the reactants".

Law of conservation of energy states that "energy is neither created nor destroyed in the course of chemical or physical change but can be transformed from one form to another".

 Let us properly write the equation:

               CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

For the conservation of mass:

  C has 1mole on both sides

   H has 4mole on both sides

   O has 4 mole on both sides

For energy, during combustion process, the methane CH₄ burns to liberate heat energy. This is an energy conversion process in which chemical energy in methane releases heat energy.

The sodium-potassium exchange pump
trapecia [35]

Answer: The correct answer is option E

Explanation:

Sodium/potassium pump is a mechanism that involves the movement of sodium ions (Na+) out of a cell and potassium ions (K+) into a cell, thereby regulating concentration of ions on both sides of a typical cell membrane.

In this situation, the sodium-potassium pump is usually helps in the establishment of the resting potential. The potassium voltage channels normally closes before the membrane potential is brought to a resting level.

In summary, sodium/potassium pump helps to maintain a balance in the system.
