1 half-life      - 4.5 days
x half-lives   - 27 days

x=(1*27)/4.5=6

<u>Answer:</u> The number of half lives are 6

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Half life of a radioactive isotope = 4.5 days

Calculating the number of half lives after time has elapsed 27 days:

4.5 days have been elapsed time after 1 half life

So, 27 days must have been elapsed after = \frac{1}{4.5}\times 27=6 half lives

Hence, the number of half lives are 6

4. describe three ways carbon dioxide was removed from the Earth's atmosphere.

Answer: Forests: Photosynthisis helps clear carbon dioxide naturally, Soils naturally store carbon, but agricultural soils are running a big deficit due to intensive use. Because agricultural land is so expansive, Bio-energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is another way to use photosynthesis to combat climate change. However, it is far more complicated than planting trees or managing soils — and it doesn’t always work for the climate.

5. Explain why there is now 21% Oxygen in the Earth's atomosphere compaired to little or no Oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere 4.5 billion years ago.

Answer: cientists believe that the Earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago. Its early atmosphere was probably formed from the gases given out by volcanoes. It is believed that there was intense volcanic activity for the first billion years of the Earth's existence.The early atmosphere was probably mostly carbon dioxide, with little or no oxygen. There were smaller proportions of water vapour, ammonia and methane. As the Earth cooled down, most of the water vapour condensed and formed the oceans.

A certain liquid X has a normal boiling point of 111.20 celsius and a boiling point elevation constant Kb=0.95. calculate the bo
Goshia [24]

Answer: the boiling point is = 137.325°C

Explanation:

From the formula: ∆Tb= Kb*m

From the question, Kb= 0.95, m= 27.5, T1= 111.2°C

Substitute into ∆Tb= Kb*m

∆Tb= 0.95*27.5= 26.125

∆Tb= T2-T1

Hence

T2- 111.2=26.125

T2= 26.125+ 111.2= 137.325°C

How does the flow of energy during freezing compare with the flow of energy during melting
lianna [129]

Answer:

At the melting point, some molecules overcome the forces of attraction. Energy gained after the the solid melts increases the average kinetic energy or the temperature. When liquid is freezing the energy flows out the the liquid. As the kinetic energy decreases, they move more slowly.

Umnica [9.8K]

Temperature, cloud cover and thunder are all examples of weather.  

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Weather is described as conditions that prevail for a short period of time and the above-mentioned factors change variably throughout the day. Cloud cover simply describes the clouds coverage in the sky. It is one factor that is used to describe weather conditions since the type of clouds indicates prevailing weather.

For example, the presence of cirrus means there will be a storm in 24 to 48 hours. Weather conditions characterized by thunder is said to be stormy and it also has other conditions such as lightning, wind and fast rain with heavy raindrops. Temperature affects the warmness and coldness of the air and its movement. Moreover, it also affects all other aspects of weather conditions.
