Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

3 years

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial amount of sample = 160 Kg

Amount left after 12 years = 10 Kg

Half life = ?

Solution:

at time zero = 160 Kg

1st half life = 160/2 = 80 kg

2nd half life = 80/2 = 40 kg

3rd half life = 40 / 2 = 20 kg

4th half life = 20 / 2 = 10 kg

Half life:

HL = elapsed time / half life

12 years / 4 = 3 years

The atomic mass of helium-4 is 4.0026 amu. How many of each
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Protons: 2.

Electrons: 2.

Neutrons: 2.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since an atom's atomic number is equal to the number of electrons, considering the electron configurations, taking into account that helium-4 is neither positively nor negatively charged, we can infer that the number of electrons equal the number of protons, which in this case are 2, due to the fact that is atomic number is 2.

Moreover, as helium-4's atomic number is 4 as a whole number, we compute the number of neutrons by using the shown below equation:

Neutrons=mass\ number-atomic\ number\\\\Neutrons=4-2\\\\Neutrons=2

Regards.
