Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned with 10 micrograms of the radioactive substance Polonium-210. Since radioactive decay follows

a compounded continuously model, we can determine the amount of substance left in Alexander Litvinenko's body at any given time. If Polonium-210 has a decay rate of .502%, then determine the amount of Polonium-210 left in his body after 115 days. Provide 3 decimal places and a label in your answer.

Answer:

Left amount of Polonium-210 after 115 days will be 4.5927 microgram

Explanation:

We have given initial mass of Polonium-210 N_0=10microgram

Decay rate x= 0.502% = 0.00502

Time t = 115 days

We have to find the left amount of Polonium -210 after 115 days

We know that left amount is given by

N=N_0e^{-xt}=10e^{-0.00502\times 115}=4.5927microgram

So left amount of Polonium-210 after 115 days will be 4.5927 microgram

How could the pressure of a gas increase if temperature is constant?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Gay Lussac's Law - states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature. If you heat a gas you give the molecules more energy so they move faster. This means more impacts on the walls of the container and an increase in the pressure.

1. Anaphase. In <span>Anaphase the sister chromatids separate from each other to the opposite sides of the cells.

2. </span>Chromosomes would not separate into two nuclei. <span>Mitosis is a process cell division, where one cell divides into two identical cells.
</span>
3. Metaphase I. <span>Meiosis prophase I is the phase in which chromosomal crossing over occurs. The phase after prophase I is metaphase I.

4. </span>Its body cells would have 36 chromosomes, and its gametes would have 18 chromosomes. <span>In the gametes, there are half of the number of chromosomes present in the body cell.

5. </span><span>A species has to adjust rapidly to a changing environment. To adjust to the environment, crossing over is necessary, and it does not occur in mitosis, but meiosis.

6. 50 percent. 
Parents:          Yy      x     yy
Offspring:    Yy    Yy    yy   yy
50 % is Yy  and 50% is yy.

7. </span><span>One parent had white eyes and the other was heterozygous for eye color. The ratio in the offspring is 50-50. The only possibility is the following:
Parents:       Rr     x     rr
Offspring   Rr    Rr   Rr   Rr

8. </span><span>Their fur will be a mixture of red and white hairs. The offspring will be heterozygous. They will have alleles for both red and white hairs and both will be expressed.
</span>
9. Not enough information.

10. <span>Both of the parents' genotype must have been Pp. The genotype of the white plant is pp since it is recessive:
Parents:        Pp     x     Pp
Offspring:   PP   Pp   Pp   pp
One of the four is white.</span>
