Answer:

37.5g

Explanation:

The half-life is the time taken for a radioactive substance to decay to half its original composition;

 Original composition here is  = 4800g  of U-238

How many grams remain after 7 half-lives;

 After each life, the uranium reduces by half;

 Amount remaining  = 4800 x (\frac{1}{2})^7  

                                  = 37.5g

After 7 half lives, 37.5g of the original sample will remain.

How is it possible for there to be more than one kind of atom of the same element?
tiny-mole [99]

They are called isotopes.

Isotopes have the same number of electrons and protons in their unionized state. They differ in the number of neutrons. The first and simplest example is hydrogen.


The most common hydrogen has

1 proton

1 electron and

0 neutrons


It has 2 cousins

1 proton

1 electron

1 neutron

And

1 proton

1 electron

2 neutrons.


Most elements have some differences in the number of neutrons present in their nuclei. Cesium and Xenon have the most number of isotopes. Each has 36. You wonder how the atoms are held together.

A sip of wine is about 2.0 mL. If a bottle of Lafite Rothchild costs $278 and contains
USPshnik [31]
To determine the cost of one sip of wine, we first calculate the cost of wine per unit volume. For this case, we need to convert the volume to milliliter for simplicity. We calculate the cost per volume as follows:

cost per volume = $ 278 / 24.5 fl oz ( 1 fl oz / 29.57 mL )
cost per volume = $0.38 / mL

To determine the cost of one sip, we multiply the volume of one sip to the cost per volume.

cost of one sip = $0.38/mL ( 2.0 mL ) = $0.77
