1m = 100cm
so 10m = 100*10 = 1000cm or in scientific notation 1.00x10^3 cm
1g = 1/1000kg
1mL = 1/1000L
so 1g/mL = (1/1000)/(1/1000)kg/L
=1kg/L
37.5g/mL = 37.5kg/L or 3.75*10^1 kg/L
Answer:
3 years
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial amount of sample = 160 Kg
Amount left after 12 years = 10 Kg
Half life = ?
Solution:
at time zero = 160 Kg
1st half life = 160/2 = 80 kg
2nd half life = 80/2 = 40 kg
3rd half life = 40 / 2 = 20 kg
4th half life = 20 / 2 = 10 kg
Half life:
HL = elapsed time / half life
12 years / 4 = 3 years
Explanation:
Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons. This is so that they form a full outer shell of electrons. When an atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, because electrons are negatively charged. For example, all halogens (group 7 or 17) form negative ions as they gain an electron forming a 1- charge. When an atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, as it is losing some negative charge from the electrons. This would be for example, alkali metals (group 1) which lose an electron to form a positive ion with a 1+ charge, (ALL metals form positive ions).
