We can calculate how long the decay by using the half-life equation. It is expressed as:
A = Ao e^-kt
<span>where A is the amount left at t years, Ao is the initial concentration, and k is a constant.
</span><span>From the half-life data, we can calculate for k.
</span>
1/2(Ao) = Ao e^-k(30)
<span>k = 0.023
</span>
0.04Ao = Ao e^0.023(t)
<span>t = 140 sec</span>
True, it would slow down.
Answer:
Ionization energy, electronegativity, and lattice energy are the factors that influence the formation of ionic bonds of elements.
All the following are major pollutants of ground water except CHLORINE FROM DRINKING WATER.
Ground water refers to the water source underneath the earth surface. This water source is very important to humans and plants and it is used for various purposes. The ground water source can be contaminated by pollutants such as fertilizers, pesticides, chemicals, radioactive wastes, etc.
Chlorine from drinking water can not contaminate ground water source, this is because, the amount of chlorine added to drinking water is very small and quite safe for human consumption. Apart from this, the chlorine usually dissipate from water few hours after its addition. Thus chlorine from drinking water does not pollute ground water sources.
