A half life of 29 years means that after 29 years, only half of this isotope would be left due to radioactive decay. If we start of with 2000g of it and leave it for 116 years, it would undergo 4 "half=lives". 116/29 = 4. So after the first half life, we would have 2000g/2 = 1000g left. After the second, we would have 500g left, after the third, 250g so after 4 half lives or 116 years, there would be 125 g  of Strontium-90 left at the site.

Arun and Marcus are asked to compare the solubility of two salts in water at room temperature. The two salts are labelled X and
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

1) Salts X and Y

2) The solubility of the salts

3) a) The solvent

b) The solvent temperature

Explanation:

1) The independent variable is the variable that is suspected to be the cause of the subject of the investigation

The given investigation is meant to investigate the solubility of different salts

Therefore, the solubility is expected to be dependent on the type of salt, and the independent variable is the type of salt, X or Y

2) The dependent variable is the effect meant to be observed in the investigation, which is the solubility of the salt in water at room temperature

3) The control variables are the variables which are held constant during the investigation, including;

a) The solvent used if the investigation; water

b) The temperature of the solvent; Room temperature
