Answer:

The correct answer is - 15 hours.

Explanation:

Half-life an element is the time required to decay the half amount of the initial amount of the element and is represented by t1/2.

The formula for the calculating initial amount

n(i)=n(r)⋅2^n

where

n(i) - the initial number of moles of element

n(r) - the number of moles remained amount after the given time

n - the number of periods,

=  time T, where T is the half-life.

n(i)=n(r)⋅2^n

n(i)/n(r) =2^n

1/16 =2^n

n= 4

The half life = 60/n

= 60/4

= 15 hours.

What is the empirical formula for a substance that contains 3.730% hydrogen, 44.44% carbon, and 51.83% nitrogen by mass?\?
Vlada [557]

Given data:

Hydrogen (H) = 3.730 % by mass

Carbon (C) = 44.44%

Nitrogen (N) = 51.83 %

This means that if  the sample weighs 100 g then:

Mass of H = 3.730 g

Mass of C = 44.44 g

Mass of N = 51.83 g

Now, calculate the # moles of each element:

# moles of H = 3.730 g/ 1 g.mole-1 = 3.730 moles

# moles of C = 44.44/12 = 3.703 moles

# moles of N = 51.83/14 = 3.702 moles

Divide by the lowest # moles:

H = 3.730/3.702  = 1

C = 3.703/3.702 = 1

N = 3.702/3.702 = 1

Empirical Formula = HCN

Lisa [10]

16 cells are produced from a single parent cell after the fourth division of the cell.

<h3>What is a cell?</h3>

In biology, the smallest unit can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body.

In mitosis type of cell division, one parent cell is divided into two same or different daughter cells. In this way, in the first division, two cells are produced from single parent cells and in the second division, four daughter cells are produced. In the third division, 8 cells are produced from 4 parent cells and in the fourth division, 16 cells are formed from 8 cells.

So we can conclude that 16 cells are produced from a single parent cell after the fourth division of the cell.
