Your answer would be, true.
So half life is the time taken for a sample to decay to half its original mass, its a constant and applies to any original mass, it could be 5g or 1kg, it will take the same amount of time for the original mass to half. In this case the half life is 3 days.
After 3 days the sample will be at half its original mass, now 50g.
Now we can treat the 50g as if its a new sample. After another 3 days (6 days in total) there will be half of 50g left, = 25g.
B) is a factual statement
Laws are based on observations and experiments and have been tested many, many times to show no error
<u>Answer:</u> The change in temperature is 84.7°C
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the change in temperature, we use the equation:
where,
q = heat absorbed = 1 kCal = 1000 Cal (Conversion factor: 1 kCal = 1000 Cal)
m = mass of steel = 100 g
c = specific heat capacity of steel = 0.118 Cal/g.°C
= change in temperature = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the change in temperature is 84.7°C
