The   number  of grams of  radon 222 did it have 15.2  ago was  49.6 grams( answer  C)

 <u>calculation</u>

  • calculate the number of half life it has covered    from   15.2  days to 3.8 days

             that is  divide 15.2/ 3.8 = 4 half life

  •  half  life is time taken for a radio activity  of a specified isotope to fall to half its original mass

therefore  3.8 days ago  it was  3.1 x2 =  6.2 grams

                  7.6 days ago  it was 6.2 x2 = 12.4 grams

                   11.4  days  ago it was 12.4  x2=  24.8  grams

                  15.2  days  ago  it was  24.8 x2=49.6 grams

One way to determine the degree of saturation of a solid-liquid solution is to drop a crystal of the solute into the solution.
Dafna1 [17]

The answer is D: Saturated.

A saturated solution is one in which the exact maximum amount of solute has been dissolved.  So, new solute will not dissolve in the solution.  In contrast, an unsaturated solution can hold more solute, so if that option were correct, the crystal would have dissolved.

The other two terms are a bit more complicated.  A supersaturated solution is one holding an amount of solute above the sustainable limit.  Because of that, when more solute is added, the solution will immediately adjust, and some solute will come out of solution in a precipitate.  Because the crystal isn't growing, we can eliminate this option.

A concentrated solution is one holding a relatively large amount of solute.  However, you can have concentrated solutions that are saturated and unconcentrated (the word for this is dilute) solutions that aren't saturated.  Therefore, we can say that because the crystal doesn't dissolve, this solution is saturated, but we can't say with certainty that it is concentrated.

Because the first three options are invalid, as described above, while the scenario does describe a saturated solution, D is the correct answer.

Which statement describes a similarity between conductors and insulators?
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

They can both be used in an electric circuit.

Explanation:

Though conductors and insulators are very different from each other but still they have a similarity that "they can both be used in an electric circuit".

Conductors are the material that allows electricity to flow and insulators have high resistance and do not allow electricity to flow.

Both conductors and insulators are used in an electric circuit as conductor is used in wires, batteries and bulb to flow current while insulators are used in insulation of wire, switches, plugs and etc. Combination of them makes the circuit shock free.

Hence, the correct answer is "They can both be used in an electric circuit."

The most accurate measurement is 1.1 g. Option A

<h3>What is accuracy?</h3>

The term accuracy refers to the fact that the measurement is close to the true value. The closer the measurement is to the true value as given, the more accurate it is.

In this case, the true value of the mass of the  sample of calcium carbonate is 1.134 g. Now we have to look at all the masses of as obtained by Emma during the experiment.

The most accurate measurement is 1.1 g. Option A
