<h3>Answer:</h3>

22.06 Hours

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Half life is the time it takes for a radioactive material or isotope to decay by half of its initial amount.

We are given;

Radioactive isotope Iodine-133

Initial counts per minute = 3150 counts

Counts after decay = 3055 per minute

Time taken = 1 hour

But, we know that to calculate the remaining amount of the radioactive isotope, then,

Remaining amount = Initial amount × 0.5^n , where n is the number of half-lives.

Therefore;

3055 counts = 3150 × 0.5^n

0.5^n = 0.9698

To get n

n = log 1 ÷ log 0.9698

 = 0.044

But, n is given by dividing time and the number of half lifes

Therefore, half life = time ÷ Number of half lives

                              = 1 hour ÷ 0.044

                              = 22.60 hours

Therefore, the half life of iodine-133 is 22.60 hours

Purchasing the correctly sized BMX bike is based on the height of the rider. In order to fit a customer, the salesman can use th
Phantasy [73]
Answer: Your best answer is A.

Explanation: 1.35 is a constant and thus is does not change. The equation can be simplified to-
“b = (0.29 x h)+ 1.35”
So, if your rider is say 60 inches tall, the equation would change to-
“b = (0.29 x 60)+ 1.35”
Then to-
“b = (17.4) + 1.35” or “b = 17.4 + 1.35”
And therefore the size of the BMX bike frame in inches would be-
“b = 18.75”

Hope this helped :)

Refer to the following compounds.
goblinko [34]

Answer: The answer is D. This has a Carboxylic Acid group, and is acetic acid, or Ethanoic Acid.

ALWAYS LOOK for the Functional Group in question.

A. Would likely not stay in water, or at least not be acidic, for it is butane gas.

B. Is 1-propanol, and alcohols are not acidic as a rule. Certainly not in water.

C. This is an Ether. It will not give up an H+, it it not an acid.

E. This functional group is an amine, which is more “base” like, since the lone pairs of the Nitrogen atom would tend to attract a H+.
