There are 2 grams remain

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

t1/2 = 30 years

t = 170 years

No = 100 g

Required

Remaining sample

Solution

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

Input the value :

\tt Nt=100.\dfrac{1}{2}^{170/30}\\\\Nt=1.969\approx 2~grams

Radium has a half-life of 1,620 years. In how many years will a 1 kg sample of radium decay and reduce to 0.125 kg of radium?
Tasya [4]
We can calculate years 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>From the half-life data, we can calculate for k.

1/2(Ao) = Ao e^-k(1620)
<span>k = 4.28 x 10^-4
</span>
0.125 = 1 e^-<span>4.28 x 10^-4 (</span>t)
t = 4259 years

A student needs to convert a volume of 3 Tbsp (tablespoons) to mL. The student finds out that 1 tablespoon is equivalent to 14.7
garri49 [273]

Answer:

The conversion factor is 14.79 mL/Tbsp.

Explanation:

To do an unity conversiton, we can make a factor by a ratio transformation:

3 Tbsp * \frac{14.79 mL}{1Tbsp}

So, the conversion factor is 14.79 mL/Tbsp and 3 Tbsp has 44.37 mL.
