Answer:

25% thorium will left after 50 days.

Explanation:

Half life:

A nuclear half is the time period of radioactive material in which its amount remain halved.

In given question it is stated that the half life thorium-234 is 25 days. Which means after passing the 25 days the amount of thorium must be halved of original amount.

For example,

If the original concentration was 100%, than after 25 days it will be 50%.

After 50 days amount of thorium left:

Number of half life = T (elapsed) / T half life

Number of half life = 50/25

Number of half life =  2

At first half life amount of thorium left = 100/2 = 50

After second half life amount of thorium left = 50/2 = 25

Total amount decayed = 50+25 = 75

Amount left after 50 days = 100-75 = 25

25% thorium will left after 50 days.

What problems could arise if scientists use different units to measure height
Shkiper50 [21]

Scientists can measure the height in different units but problem could arise when they compare all the measurements. That is the reason there is standard units for measurements.

<span>There may be error arises when an American scientist is measuring the height of an object in inches and other Australian scientist is measuring the height of same object in meters. Their data cannot be compared because they are using different units to measure height.</span>

Which one of the following items does NOT characterize a reducing agent? a. A reducing agent loses electrons. b. A reducing agen
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: D

Explanation:

A reducing agent is a species that reduces other compounds, and is thereby oxidized. The whole compound becomes the reducing agent. In other words, of a compound is oxidized, then they are the reducing agent. On the other hand, if the compound is reduced, it is an ozidizing agent.

Since we have established that a reducing agent is the compound being oxidized, we know that A is not our answer. An oxidized compound is losing electrons. Choice A states exactly this.

For B, this is true as we have established this already.

C is also correct. Since a reducing agent loses electrons, it becomes more positive. This makes the oxidation number increase.

D would be our correct answer. It is actually a good oxidizing agent is a metal in a high oxidation state, such as Mn⁷⁺.
