Phosphorus-32 has a half life of 14.3 days. How many days will it take for a

It will take 42.9 days

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

t1/2=14.3 days

Nt/No=1/8

\tt Nt=No(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t1/2}\\\\\dfrac{Nt}{No}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\(\dfrac{1}{2})^3=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\3=T/14.3\rightarrow T=42.9~days

Which chemical element represents the most abundant “atoms of an element” found in air?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The order of elements by volume-fraction (which is approximately molecular mole-fraction) in the atmosphere is nitrogen (78.1%), oxygen (20.9%), argon (0.96%), followed by (in uncertain order) carbon and hydrogen because water vapor and carbon dioxide, which represent most of these two elements in the air, are variable.

I copied and pasted but I hope this information is helpful :)

1.) Why does carbon form covalent bonds?
juin [17]

For #1, I'd say it's "It will usually bond to multiple atoms which can provide a total of 4 additional electrons."

2. Ionic (I'm quite certain because anions/cations (-1 & +1) are Ionic from what I recall, if that's true it's Ionic.
3. "comparison of the associated families to which the elements belong" and
"the difference in electronegativities" are what I would choose, as I mentioned in a comment earlier.

If I'm wrong let me know, but I am at least 80% sure that these responses are correct from what I remember in Chemistry.

Define density of a substance.
ozzi

Answer:

density, mass of a unit volume of a material substance. The formula for density is d = M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume. Density is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre. ... Density can also be expressed as kilograms per cubic metre (in metre-kilogram-second or SI units).

What is the acceleration object velocity of +25m/s to rest in 5.0 s
Irina-Kira [14]

The average acceleration is -5.0 m·s⁻².

The formula for acceleration (<em>a</em>) is

a = \frac{v_{f}- v_{i}}{t}

v_{f} = 25 m·s⁻¹;  v_{i} = 0; t = 5.0 s

∴ a = \frac{0-25}{5.0} = -5.0 m·s⁻²

The negative sign tells you that the object is <em>slowing down</em>, i.e., it is <em>decelerating</em>.
