Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The author is probably reminding us that knowing the origins of words helps us to remember what they mean.
If "verde" means "green", the "verd" in "verdigris" probably means that verdigris is green.
However, the "verd" in verdigris domes from other languages.
It was originally Latin "viride aeris" (green brass).
In old French it became "verte de Grèce" (green of Greece). The modern French spelling is "vert-de-gris" (green of grey).
The English word "verdigris" comes from the French words.
The taste of Acid is Sour, that of Base is Bitter and salt is salty. So, Pickle and Lemons give sour taste due to presence of Acids. The sour taste of Lemon is due to presence of Citric Acid in it. While the sour taste of Pickle is due to presence of Vinegar (5% Acetic Acid Solution). Vinegar is mainly used to prevent the Pickle from Bacterial Attack.
Answer:
100 g
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Original amount (N₀) = 400 g
Time (t) = 4 years
Half-life (t½) = 2 years
Amount remaining (N) =?
Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:
Time (t) = 4 years
Half-life (t½) = 2 years
Number of half-lives (n) =?
n = t / t½
n = 4 / 2
n = 2
Thus, 2 half-lives has elapsed.
Finally, we shall determine the amount remaining of the radioactive isotope. This can be obtained as follow:
Original amount (N₀) = 400 g
Number of half-lives (n) = 2
Amount remaining (N) =?
N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀
N = 1/2² × 400
N = 1/4 × 400
N = 0.25 × 400
N = 100 g
Thus, the amount of the radioactive isotope remaing is the 100 g.
