<u>Answer: </u>

A sample initially contained 150 mg of radon-222. After 11.4 days only 18.75mg of the radon-222 in the sample remained where 3 half-lives have passed

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given, the initial value of the sample, A_0 = 150mg

Final value of the sample or the quantity left, A = 18.75mg

Time = 11.4 days

The amount left after first half life will be ½.

The number of half-life is calculated by the formula

\frac{A}{A_{0}}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{N}

where N is the no. of half life

Substituting the values,

\frac{18.75}{150}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{N}

\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{3}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{N}

On equating, we get, N = 3

Therefore, 3 half-lives have passed.

CAN SOMEONE REWRITE/SHORTEN THIS FOR ME PLEASE? I'LL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Here you go! 50% of your writing piece

Explanation:

Foods produced from or using GM organisms are often referred to as GM foods.

GM foods are developed and marketed because there is some advantage either to the producer or consumer of these GM foods. GM seed developers wanted their products to be accepted by producers and have concentrated on innovations that bring direct benefit to farmers and generally the food industry.

One objective for developing plants based on GM organisms is to improve crop protection. The GM crops currently on the market are mainly aimed at an increased level of crop protection through the introduction of resistance against plant diseases caused by insects or viruses or through increased tolerance towards herbicides.

Resistance against insects is achieved by incorporating into the food plant the gene for toxin production from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. GM crops that inherently produce this toxin have been shown to require lower quantities of insecticides in specific situations, where pest pressure is high.

If the gas in the piston above has a volume of 20.0 L at a temperature of 25 C what is the volume of that gas when it is heated
dexar [7]

Answer:

15.98 L

Explanation:

First, you need to find T1, T2, V1 and V2.

T1 = 25 C = 298.15 K (25C + 273.15K)

T2 = 100 C = 373.15 K (100C + 273.15K)

V1 = 20. L

V2 = ? (we are trying to find)

Next, rearrange to fit the formula

V2 = V1 x T1 / T2

Next, fill in with our numbers

V2 = 20. L x 298.15 K / 373.15 K

Do the math and you should get...

15.98 L

- If you need more help or futher explanation please let me know. I would be glad to help!

Answer:

Halophile.

Explanation:

Halophile microorganisms are microorganisms that  require very large amounts of NaCl. If the concentration of NaCl is very little, there will be no growth. Ih this case, given that it grows between 5% and 15%, it can be considered a moderate halophile.
