Nothing

Explanation:

Mass of the sample = 500g

Decay rate per anum = 11%

Unknown:

Mass of sample remaining after 10yrs = ?

Solution:

  This is a simple percentages problem;

The radioactive sample loses \frac{11}{100 } x 500g of sample per year;

  this is a loss of 55g per year;

In 10years time, the sample would have lost 10 x 55g = 550g of element.

Since our sample is not up to 550g, then no amount of sample will remain after 10yrs.

Korolek [52]

Leukopenia means  a low count of white blood  cells in the body. When there is a low white blood cell count in the body, and in particular a low level of neutrophils (a kind of white blood cell that fights infection), there is quite a significant risk of developing an infection, and once an infection is developed and the white blood cell count is low, the body will not be able to protect itself and fight off the infection. In severe cases , infection may lead to death.

Discuss the Conditions necessary to cause water to diffuse out of a cell
sammy [17]

When water molecules diffuse through a cell membrane this process is called the osmosis. Water molecules are extremely small and because of this they can slip freely through the gaps between the phospholipids in the cell membrane. And as a result, water molecules can constantly move back and forth though the cell <span>
membrane. This movement of water has a very important function and that is it enables cells to absorb water. </span>

Now for a movement of water molecules to happen, there should be a concentration gradient in the surrounding. That is, the amount of water in one side must be different on the other side.

<span>For water to diffuse INTO the cell, the amount of water outside the cell membrane should be larger than the amount of water inside the side.</span>
