The question is incomplete, here is the complete question.

If we start with 1.000 g of strontium-90, 0.805 g will remain after 9.00 yr. This means that the half-life of strontium-90 is ________ yr.

a. 28.8 b. 30.9 c. 35.4 d. 32.2

Answer :  The half-life of strontium-90 is 28.8 years.

Explanation :

This is a type of radioactive decay and all radioactive decays follow first order kinetics.

First we have to calculate the rate constant.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by :

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decay process  = 9.00 year

a = initial amount or moles of the reactant  = 1.000 g

a - x = amount or moles left after decay process  = 0.805 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{2.303}{9.00}\log\frac{1.00}{0.805}

k=0.0241\text{ year}^{-1}

To calculate the half-life, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

0.0241\text{ year}^{-1}=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

t_{1/2}=28.8\text{ years}

Therefore, the half-life of strontium-90 is 28.8 years.

The town of Natrium, West Virginia, derives its name from the sodium produced in the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride (NaC
Alona [7]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

           Na^{+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Na(s)

Hence, moles of Na = moles of electron used

Therefore, calculate the number of moles of sodium as follows.

       No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                             = \frac{4500 g}{23 g/mol}    (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

                             = 195.65 mol

As,     Q = n \times F       where F = Faraday's constant

              = 195.65 mol \times 96500 C

              = 1.88 \times 10^{7} mol C

Relation between electrical energy and Q is as follows.

               E = Q \times V

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula and then calculate the value of electricity as follows.

              E = Q \times V

                 = 1.88 \times 10^{7} \times 5

                 = 9.4 \times 10^{7} J

As 1 J = 2.77 \times 10^{-7} kWh

Hence,      \frac{9.4 \times 10^{7}}{2.77 \times 10^{-7}} kWh

                = 3.39 kWh

Thus, we can conclude that 3.39 kilowatt-hours of electricity is required in the given situation.

Answer:

B. first level consumers.

Explanation:

The first level consumers are also the primary consumers. They are the animals that depends or rely on plants to transform chemical energy into carbohydrates and sugar.

Primary consumers are mostly herbivores. They feed on plant matter by which they derive their nutrition. They have special enzymes that helps to convert plant materials into substances needed for their body.

So, the first level consumer takes plant matter and convert them into useful food materials for their own nutrition.

The second level consumers depend on the first level consumers for nutrition.
