Every chemical element goes through natural exponential decay, which means that over time its atoms fall apart. The speed of eac

h element's decay is described by its half-life, which is the amount of time it takes for the number of radioactive atoms of this element to be reduced by half. The half-life of the isotope dubnium-263 is 29 seconds. A sample of dubnium-263 was first measured to have 1024 atoms. After t seconds, there were only 32 atoms of this isotope remaining. Write an equation in terms of t that models the situation.

Answer:

t = ln (N/N°)/(-0.0239)

Explanation :

The decay law is represented as

N = N°e^-kt

Where N is the final number of atom,

N° is the initial number of atoms

k is the decay constant

t is the half-life.

From the above we have,

N/N° = e^-kt

take ln of both sides

ln (N/N°) = -kt

t = ln(N/N°)/-k

At half life, N/N° = 1/2

Therefore, t = (ln 1/2)/-k

t = -0.693/-k

But t = 29 sec

29 = -0.693/-k

k = 0.0239 s^-1

Therefore,

The formula will be

t = ln (N/N°)/(-0.0239)

How are temperature and salinity related in a thermohaline circulation pattern?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation is the circulation of currents in the deep ocean due to the density of the water which is controlled by heat and salinity. Water in the ocean posses layers or defined boundaries based on the density which provides driving force to the deep ocean currents.

Formation of these layers is due to the sinking of the cold water in the basin which and ice formation which leaves the salt in the seawater ,therefore, increasing salinity. This increased salinity increases its density and the surface water is replaced by the sinking water causing deep ocean currents.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Energy from the sun comes from fusion. what happens during this reaction
OverLord2011 [107]

Hydrogen atoms are compressed together by the enormous gravitational force of the sun, causing them to fuse int a helium atom (which is heavier than hydrogen), subatomic particles and enormous release of atomic energy. The attached picture shows the sequence of the main reaction at the core of the sun.
