For this problem we can use half-life formula and radioactive decay formula.

Half-life formula,
t1/2 = ln 2 / λ

where, t1/2 is half-life and λ is radioactive decay constant.
t1/2 = 8.04 days

Hence,         
8.04 days    = ln 2 / λ                         
λ   = ln 2 / 8.04 days

Radioactive decay law,
Nt = No e∧(-λt)

where, Nt is amount of compound at t time, No is amount of compound at  t = 0 time, t is time taken to decay and λ is radioactive decay constant.

Nt = ?
No = 1.53 mg
λ   = ln 2 / 8.04 days = 0.693 / 8.04 days
t    = 13.0 days 

By substituting,
Nt = 1.53 mg e∧((-0.693/8.04 days) x 13.0 days))
Nt = 0.4989 mg = 0.0.499 mg

Hence, mass of remaining sample after 13.0 days = 0.499 mg

The answer is "e"

An ant carries a morsel of food 4.26 meters along a straight path to his nest. he then turns around and follows the path back to
SVEN [57.7K]
<span>Answer: 0.00 meters

  Solution:

    Step 1: Define displacement DISPLACEMENT = a vector quantity that describes "linear or angular distance in a given direction between a body or point and a reference position."

  Step 2: Understand the question

 Assumption 1: Assume that when the ant moves 4.25 meters from its origin to its nest, it is moving in a positive direction (on a graph you would draw a line along the x-axis from its origin to +4.25).

  Assumption 2: Assume that when the ant "turns around...back to the source of food", it is moving back in the negative direction (towards the origin).

   Step 3: Analyze the question

  What is the distance between where the ant originally started and where it ended its journey?

  The ant started and ended its journey in the same place.

 While it traveled a distance of 8.52 meters (2 * 4.26 = 8.52), it's displacement is actually 0.00 meters (4.26 + (-4.26) = 0.00)

  Therefore, the answer is 0.00 meters</span>

What is the percent composition of the u.s quarter, which has the mass of 5.670g
Vitek1552 [10]
The percent composition of each element can be calculated as follows:
% composition = (mass of element / total mass) * 100

The total mass of the quarter is given to be 5.670 grams
Mass of Cu = 5.198 grams
Mass of Ni = 0.472 grams

Substitute in the above equation to get the mass percentage of each element as follows:
% of Cu = (5.198/5.670) * 100 = 91.675%
% of Ni = (0.472/5.670) * 100 = 8.325%

1. A student attempts to make a saline solution by adding salt to water. How much water did
dexar [7]

111.1 mL of water

Explanation:

Weight per volume concentration (w/v %) is defined as

weight per volume concentration = (mass of solute (g) / volume of solution (mL)) × 100

volume of solution = (mass of solute × 100) / weight per volume concentration

volume of solution = (1 × 100) / 0.9 = 111.1 mL

volume of water = volume of solution = 111.1 mL

What is the volume of 88 grams of CO2 gas at STP?
I am Lyosha [343]
! mole of CO2 at STP has a volume of 22.4 liters
88 grams = 2 moles 

so the required volume = 2*22.4 = 44.8 liters
