Chemistry

Answer:

105 mg

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Original amount (N₀) = 420 mg

Half life (t½) =20 days

Time (t) = 40 days

Amount remaining (N) =..?

Next, we shall determine the rate constant K, for the disintegration.

This can be obtained as follow:

Half life (t½) =20 days

Rate constant (K) =?

K = 0.693/ t½

K = 0.693/20

K = 0.03465 /day

Finally, we shall determine the amount remaining after 40 days as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 420 mg

Rate constant (K) = 0.03465 /day

Time (t) = 40 days

Amount remaining (N) =..?

Log(N₀/N) = kt/2.3

Log (420/N) = (0.03465 x 40)/2.3

Log (420/N) = 1.386/2.3

Log (420/N) = 0.6026

420/N = antilog (0.6026)

420/N = 4

Cross multiply

420 = N x 4

Divide both side by 4

N = 420/4

N = 105 mg

Therefore, the amount remaining after 40 days is 105 mg.

What factors does the climate include?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A. amount of precipitation, average temperature

Explanation:

Precipitation and average temperature are factors that climate includes. These factors are determined by other factors such as location of an area(like how far a place is from large bodies of water like the sea), ocean currents, lattitude (distance from the equator), winds (prevailing winds) , topography (such as mountains) and the like.

If have a volume of 18 L of a gas at a temperature of 272 K and a pressure of 90 atm, what will be the pressure of the gas if ra
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

P₂ ≅ 100 atm (1 sig. fig. based on the given value of P₁ = 90 atm)

Explanation:

Given:

P₁ = 90 atm                    P₂ = ?

V₁ = 18 Liters(L)              L₂ = 12 Liters(L)      

=> decrease volume => increase pressure

=> volume ratio that will increase 90 atm is (18L/12L)                                                                  

T₁ = 272 Kelvin(K)          T₂ = 274 Kelvin(K)

=>  increase temperature => increase pressure

=> temperature ratio that will increase 90 atm is (274K/272K)

n₁ = moles = constant    n₂ = n₁ = constant

P₂ = 90 atm x (18L/12L) x (274K/272K) = 135.9926471 atm (calculator)

By rule of sig. figs., the final answer should be rounded to an accuracy equal to the 'measured' data value having the least number of sig. figs. This means P₂ ≅ 100 atm based on the given value of P₁ = 90 atm.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

1) Big Bang Theory

2) we are in a phase of the big bang theory

Explanation:

So for number 1 the answer is the -big bang theory- and number 2 there is a theory that pretty much says that were in a constant cycle. what I mean is theoretically in a couple million years the entire universe will form together again into another dense ball and repeat the process. So basically the universe is still in the "expanding phase" and that's what backs up the theory of the big bang (the fact that were in one of the big bang theory's "phases")
