Answer:

The amount left after 49.2 years is 3mg.

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of tritium = 12.3 years

Total mass pf tritium = 48.0 mg

Mass remain after 49.2 years = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives.

Number of half lives = T elapsed/ half life

Number of half lives =  49.2 years /12.3 years

Number of half lives =  4

Now we will calculate the amount left after 49.2 years.

At time zero 48.0 mg

At first half life = 48.0mg/2 = 24 mg

At second half life = 24mg/2 = 12 mg

At 3rd half life = 12 mg/2 = 6 mg

At 4th half life =  6mg/2 = 3mg

The amount left after 49.2 years is 3mg.

Which isotope has the greater mass neon-20 and neon-22
Allisa [31]
Neon-22 is the isotope with the greater mass.

P.S. When you have two isotopes of the same element, the one with the greater number will always have the greater mass

Hope that helps!

Answer:

2. Translucent

4. Reflection

Explanation:

The terms translucent describes the nature of the juice and reflection perfectly fits the property of the light.

A translucent substance is one that partially allows light to pass through it. Since it is said that some of the light bounced back and some passed through, this is translucent.

Also, the light bouncing back is an indicator of reflection. Reflection is a property of light where it bounces back a surface.

There is water on the pan of the scale as you measure the mass of an object. If you were to ignore the water, what would be the
mihalych1998 [28]
Remember that density refers to the "mass per unit volume" of an object.

So, if an object had a mass of 100 grams and a volume of 100 milliliters, the density would be 100 grams / 100 ml.

In the question, water on the surface of the scale would add weight, so the mass of the object that you're weighing would appear to be heavier than it really is. If that happens, you'll incorrectly assume that the density is GREATER than it really is

As an example, suppose that there was 5 ml of water on the surface of the scale. Water has a density of 1 gram per milliliter (1 g/ml) so the water would add 5 grams to the object's weight. If we use the example above, the mass of the object would seem to be 105 grams, rather than 100 grams. So, you would calculate:

density = mass / volume
density = 105 grams / 100 ml
density = 1.05 g/ml

The effect on density would be that it would erroneously appear to be greater

Hope this helps!

Good luck
