This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Which of the following is the best definition of half-life for a radioactive substance?

A. Half of the amount of time required for all of the radioactive atoms to decay.

B. The amount of time required for half of the radioactive atoms to decay.

C. The amount of time required for each radioactive atom to decay halfway.

D. All of the above.

Answer : The correct option is, (B) The amount of time required for half of the radioactive atoms to decay.

Explanation:

Half life : It is defined as the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

All radioactive decays follow first order kinetics.

The relation between the half-life and rate constant is:

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

The half-life of the radioactive isotope is remains the same that means a constant value and it is not affected by any external conditions.

Hence, the correct option is, (B)

In which layer of the ocean do surface currents flow?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

ooh sorry, but will this help you now:

Ocean dynamics define and describe the motion of water within the oceans. Ocean temperature and motion fields can be separated into three distinct layers: mixed (surface) layer, upper ocean (above the thermocline), and deep ocean. Ocean currents are measured in sverdrup (sv), where 1 sv is equivalent to a volume flow rate of 1,000,000 m (35,000,000 cu ft) per second.

Surface currents, which make up only 8% of all water in the ocean, are generally restricted to the upper 4…

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)

To how much water should 100 ml of 18m sulfuric acid be added to prepare a 1.5m solution
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Take 100 ml of a 18 molar solution. The total number of moles is (1 liter/1000 ml) 100 ml 18 moles is 1.8 moles.

1.5 moles in 1 liter so If 1.1 liters of water is added, the total volume is 1.2 liters and 1.8 moles are dissolves in it. 1.8 moles/ 1.2 liters is 1.5 moles per liter.
