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.

What two types of elements are ionic compounds made of?
mash [69]

Answer:

ionic compounds are made from metal and non mental elements

Explanation:

in this case it is know as an ionic compound because it contains a charge. For example, NaCl is simply a compound as it contains no charges (the charges cancel out as Cl is -1 and Na is +1)

but OH- is an ionic compound as it has a charge if -1 (O has a -2 charge and H has a +1 charge, so -2+1=-1 so OH has -1 charge)

The physical state, or phase, that has the greatest kinetic energy is gas. In a gas, the molecules are more free to move and they move more rapidly than in the other phases, and it is this motion that constitutes kinetic energy.

How does an indicator differentiate between an acid and base?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

that is all I know sorry hope that may help you :)

Explanation:

Indicator is a substance which shows different colors in acidic and basic medium. Indicators can be natural (derived from natural sources) or artificial ( man-made) for example :

*Litmus is an indicator. Acid turns blue litmus into red while base turns red litmus into blue

* Turmeric solution does not show change in color (remains yellow) in acidic solution and turns red in basic solution.
