Answer:
The advantage of the compound light microscope over the dissecting microscope is the magnification power of the telescope. Compound light microscope magnifies from 40x up to 1,000x while dissecting microscope magnifies up to 40 x only. In this regard, more magnification power is advantageous to view smaller objects.
Answer:
V₂ = 520.42 mL
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial volume = 350.0 mL
Initial pressure = 840 mmHg
Initial temperature = 33°C (33 +273 = 306 K)
Final temperature = 52°C (52+273 = 325 K)
Final volume = ?
Final pressure = 600 mmHg
Formula:
P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂
P₁ = Initial pressure
V₁ = Initial volume
T₁ = Initial temperature
P₂ = Final pressure
V₂ = Final volume
T₂ = Final temperature
Solution:
V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂
V₂ = 840 mmHg × 350.0 mL × 325 K / 306 K × 600 mmHg
V₂ = 95550000 mmHg.mL.K /183600 K.mmHg
V₂ = 520.42 mL
Answer:
Explanation:
The<em> half-life </em>time of a radiactive isotope (radioisotope) is a constant value, meaning that the amount of the radioisotope that decays will be (1/2) raised to the number of half-lives passed.
Naming A₀ the initial amount to the radioisotope, you can build this table to find the amount left.
Number of half-lives amount of radiosotope left
0 A₀
1 (1/2) × A₀
2 (1/2)×(1/2)×A₀ = (1/2)² × A₀
3 (1/2)³ ×A ₀
4 (1/2)⁴ × A₀
n (1/2)ⁿ × A₀
Now calculate the number of half-lives the strontium-90 sample has passed after 100 years:
- n = 100 years / 28.1 years ≈ 3.5587
Hence, the amount of strontium-90 is:

In percent, that is:

Rounding to two significant figures, that is 8.5%.
<u>Conclusion</u>: <em>The percent of strontium-90 left after 100 yeaers is 8.5% </em>(choice number 4).
