Answer:

Amount left after 25 days = 12.5 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sample = 400 g

Half life of sample = 5 days

Mass left after 25 days = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives passes in given time period.

Number of half lives = Time elapsed / Half life

Number of half lives = 25 days/ 5 days

Number of half lives = 5

At time zero = 400 g

At 1st half life = 400 g/2 = 200 g

At 2nd half life = 200 g/2 = 100 g

At 3rd half life = 100 g/2 = 50 g

At 4th half life = 50 g/2 = 25 g

At 5th half life = 25 g/2 = 12.5 g

What do chemical and physical change have in common?
gtnhenbr [62]

Explanation:

The similarities between chemical and physical changes include change in state of matter and both process involve change in energy.

Chemical changes of a substance results in the formation of entirely new substances. These changes are not reversible.

Physical changes results in the change of the state of the substance which can be reversed.

However, both chemical and physical changes results in change of state of matter and both process results in change in energy.

Thus, we can conclude that the similarities between chemical and physical changes include change in state of matter and both process involve change in energy.

A scientist wants to determine which fertilizer is more effective—Fertilizer X or Fertilizer Y. The best way for her to proceed
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The correct answer is "three groups of plants—a group fertilized by X, a group fertilized by Y, and a control group with no fertilizer".

Explanation:

I had to look for the problem to know the options.

The best way to determine which fertilizer is most effective is to have three evaluation groups. One group will be tested with fertilizer X and another with fertilizer Y. By leaving the third group without applying fertilizer, this will be the general pattern for comparing the effectiveness of the other two.

Have a nice day!
