Answer:

the amount present 8 hours ago is Ao = 93.338 g

Explanation:

the radioactive decay is given by

A = Ao * 2^(- t/T)

where T = half-life of the substance , t= time , A= amount of substance at time t , Ao= amount of substance at time 0

therefore at t=8 hours , A=16.5 gr

Ao = A*2^(t/T) = 16.5 g * 2^(8 hours/3.20 hours) = 93.338 g

Ao = 93.338 g

lys-0071 [83]

Answer: heat is given off by the water

Explanation:

Condensation can be defined as the process by which water vapors or steam in the atmosphere are converted into liquid water. It is the part of water cycle. The water form water bodies and terrestrial surfaces gets evaporated in the form of water vapors. These vapors rise in the upper atmospheric layers and aggregate to form the clouds when these vapors become heavy they fall down in the form of rain. Heat is given off in this process by the water vapors or steam to be converted in liquid.
