The radon-222 sample has a half-life of 3.8 days, and we are asked how many times would the mass divide in half after 23 days. First we calculate the amount of times division occurs by taking the number of days and dividing that by the number of days for one half-life to occur: 23/3.8 = 6.05.
We have 198.6 grams of sample, and we are going to divide it in half 6 times to determine how much of it remains after 23 days:
198.6/2 = 99.3 grams
99.3/2 = 49.65 grams
49.65/2 = 24.83 grams
24.83/2 = 12.41 grams
12.41/2 = 6.21 grams
6.21/2 = 3.1 grams
Therefore, we are left with 3.1 grams of radon-222 after 23 days if one half-life equals to 3.8 days.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C
Explanation:
According to Heisenberg's principle "At the instant of time when the position is determined, that is, at the instant when the photon is scattered by the electron, the electron undergoes a discontinuous change in momentum. This change is the greater the smaller the wavelength of the light employed, i.e., the more exact the determination of the position. At the instant at which the position of the electron is known, its momentum therefore can be known only up to magnitudes which correspond to that discontinuous change; thus, the more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known".
Hence, this principle made scientists to realize that electrons could not be located in defined orbits which a contradictory of Bohr's model.
1-Autonomy: Our desire to direct our own lives. In short: “You probably want to do something interesting, let me get out of your way!”
2-Mastery: Our urge to get better at stuff.
3-Purpose: The feeling and intention that we can make a difference in the world.
B. Most rocks are composed of single mineral
Answer:
Uracil
Explanation:
The base that will NOT combine with 2-deoxyribose to form a nucleic acid is Uracil.
2-deoxyribose is a pentose sugar found in the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). It is devoid of oxygen in its 2' position. The bases found in DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. Adenine, Guanine, and Cytosine are also found in RNA (Ribonucleic acid). Thymine is not present in RNA, it is only found in DNA. The base found in RNA is Uracil which in turn is not present in DNA. The five carbon sugar present in RNA is ribose which combines with Uracil.
