The answer would be kinetic energy. :)

A. the kinetic energy of gas particles is higher in hot food than in cold food.

1.04 ⨯ 10 $^{-4}$ M

<h3>Explanation</h3>

A = ε $\cdot l \cdot c$ by the Beer-Lambert law, where

A the absorbance,
$l$ the path length,
ε the molar absorptivity of the solute, and
$c$ concentration of the solution.

A and ε are the same for both solutions. Therefore, $l \cdot c$ is constant; $l$ is inversely proportional to $c$ . The 100 mL sample would have a concentration 1/4.78 times that of the 45.0 mL reference.

The 13.0 mL standard solution has a concentration of 5.17 ⨯ $10^{-4}$ M. Diluting it to 45.0 mL results in a concentration of $5.17 \times 10^{-4} \times \frac{13.0}{45.0} =$ 1.494 M.

$c$ is inversely related to $l$ for the two solutions. As a result, c₂ = $c_1 \cdot \frac{l_1}{l_2} = 1.494 \times 10^{-4} \times \frac{1}{4.78} =$ 3.126 M.

The 30.0 mL sample has to be diluted by 30.0 / 100.0 times to produce the 100.0 mL solution being tested. The 100.0 mL solution has a concentration of 3.126 M. Therefore, the 30.0 mL solution has a concentration of $3.126 \times \frac{100.0}{30.0} =$ 1.04 ⨯ $10^{-4}$ M.

The half-life of radioactive substance is 2.5 minutes. what fraction of the origional radioactive remains after 10 mins

saul85 [17]

The answer is 1/16.

Half-life is the time required for the amount of a sample to half its value.
To calculate this, we will use the following formulas:
1. $(1/2)^{n} = x$ ,
where:
n - a number of half-lives
x - a remained fraction of a sample

2. $t_{1/2} = \frac{t}{n}$
where:
 $t_{1/2}$ - half-life
t - total time elapsed
n - a number of half-lives

So, we know:
t = 10 min
 $t_{1/2}$ = 2.5 min

We need:
n = ?
x = ?

We could first use the second equation to calculate n:
If:
$t_{1/2} = \frac{t}{n}$ ,
Then:
$n = \frac{t}{ t_{1/2} }$
⇒ $n = \frac{10 min}{2.5 min}$
⇒ $n=4$ 

Now we can use the first equation to calculate the remained fraction of the sample.
 $(1/2)^{n} = x$
⇒ $x=(1/2)^4$
⇒ $x= \frac{1}{16}$
