Half-life is defined as the amount of time it takes a given quantity to decrease to half of its initial value.  The equation to describe the decay is
Nt=N0(1/2) ^{t/t(1/2)}  where N0 is the initial quantity, Nt is the remaining quantity after time t, t1/2 is the half-time.  So work out the equation, t1/2 = t (-ln2)/ln(Nt/N0) = 11.5*(-ln2)/ln(12.5/100) = 3.83 days

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The correct statement is that the point of initial resistance is the level of depression that will fill the pipette with the desired volume of solution.

Explanation:

The pipette can be otherwise stored vertically or horizontally, this has nothing to do with the operation, and before the operation, the dial needs to be set. Also, the plastic pipette tip should not be ejected at all, thus, no new disposable plastic tip is required for each sample.

The correct statement is that the point of initial resistance is the level of depression that will fill the pipette with the desired volume of solution.
