Answer:

22.38 g of silicone-32 will be present in 300 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

A radioactive half-life refers to the amount of time it takes for half of the original isotope to decay and its given by

                                           N(t)=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}

where,

N(t) = quantity of the substance remaining

N_0 = initial quantity of the substance

t = time elapsed

t_{1/2} = half life of the substance

From the information given we know:

  • The initial quantity of silicone-32 is 30 g.
  • The time elapsed is 300 years.
  • The half life of silicone-32 is 710 years.

So, to find the quantity of silicone-32 remaining we apply the above equation

N(t)=30\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{300}{710}}=30\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{30}{71}}\approx22.38 \:g

22.38 g of silicone-32 will be present in 300 years.

The sides of a triangle are 7, 4, n. If n is an integer, state the largest and smallest possible values of n.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

4, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The value for the third side of the triangle is given by

b-a < n < b+a where a and b are the two other sides of the triangle and b>a

7-4 < n < 7+4

3 < n < 11

Since n is an integer

4 would be the smallest value and 10 would be the largest
