Uranium-235 has a half-life of 700 million years. How many years will it take Uranium-235 to decay to 1/8 of its original mass?

Advanced Placement (AP)

Answer: 2.1 billion years

Explanation:

The half-life of an element refers to the amount of time it would take for half of its mass to decay.

In 700 million years, Uranium - 235 will be 1/2 of its original mass.

If divided by 2, the 1/2 becomes 1/4 which is the proportion of the original mass the Uranium would get to after another 700 million years.

Dividing by another would get the Uranium-235 to 1/8 of its original value and would take another 700 million years.

Total time taken:

= 700 + 700 + 700

= 2,100 million years

= 2.1 billion years

The process of desalination removes salt from seawater using condensation methods or filtration. Which of the following is least
lesantik [10]

Answer:

First is the high cost, because it takes a lot of increasingly expensive energy to remove salt from seawater. A second problem is that pumping large volumes of seawater through pipes and using chemicals to sterilize the water and keep down algae growth kills many marine organisms and also requires large inputs of energy (and thus money) to run the pumps. A third problem is that desalination produces huge quantities of salty wastewater that must go somewhere.
