Answer:

Explanation:

Let the number of half lives be x

<u>Solve this equation to find the value of x:</u>

125*(1/2)ˣ = 3.90625
(0.5)ˣ = 3.90625 / 125
(0.5)ˣ = 0.03125
log (0.5)ˣ = log 0.03125
x = log 0.03125 / log 0.5
x = 5

barxatty [35]

They are three types of mixtures:
-solutions : they are homogeneous mixtures of 2 or more sub. in a single phase.
-suspensions: if the particles in a solvent are so large that they settle out unless constantly tired, the mixture is called a suspension.
-colloids: particles that are intermediate in size between those of solutions and suspensions form mixtures called colloids.
