A first order decomposition reaction has a half-life of 64yr. What percentage of the original amount is left after 135years. (gi
1 answer:
Answer:
23.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find how many half lives 135 years is:
135 ÷ 64 = 2.109375
Now we divide 100% by 2 to the power of the number of half lives. This is how you calculate the percentage of the original amount left. If you have the original mass, you can substitute that in instead of 100%:
100 ÷ = 23.1747390635
To 1 decimal place it is 23.2%

<h3>What is a Pythagoras theorem?</h3>The square of the longest side is equal to the square of the sum of the othersides.
Before we can calculate the total distance, we will need to get the hypotenuse on both sides using the Pythagoras theorem as shown:
H^2= 12^2 + 9^2
H² = 144 + 81
H² = 225
H = 15
For the other hypotenuse
h² = 12² + 5²
h² = 144 + 25
h² = 169
h = 13 mils
The total distance = 5 + 15 + 9 + 13
The total distance = 42 miles
