Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 51 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample

of Element X is 7500 grams, how long would it be until the mass of the sample reached 6900 grams, to the nearest tenth of a year?

Answer: It will take 6 years for 7500 grams of X to reach 6900 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant  

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for completion of half life:  

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

51=\frac{0.69}{k}

k=\frac{0.69}{51}=0.0135years^{-1}

b) for  7500 g to reach to 6900 g

t=\frac{2.303}{0.0135}\log\frac{7500}{6900}

t=6years

It will take 6 years for 7500 grams of X to reach 6900 grams.

Xp+yp=z solve for the variable p
anastassius [24]
Use the distributive property backwards.
xp+yp=z become p(x+y)=x, which solves to p=x/(x+y)

Answer:

The first option, the mayor will lose by a large percentage.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the numbers, You can see that the two best answers which are excellent and satisfactory are low, and in total equal 28.

Being compared to the lower ratings which are needs improvement and unsatisfactory are high, and in total equal 52.

Seeing this, this shows that the mayor will lose the election the with more than half of the people voting for someone else.

All the other options excluding the first one, say that he will win by a close call, a big percent, or a close call again.

which just leaves the first option saying that he will lose by large percent, which is true.
