Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of  samarium-151  originally present (No) = 5 g

Mass of  samarium-151 discovered (N) = 0.625 grams

time taken = ?

half life of samarium-151 (t1/2) = 96.6 years

From

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

0.625/5 = (1/2)^t/96

0.125 = (1/2)^t/96

1/8 = (1/2)^t/96

(1/2)^3 = (1/2)^t/96

3 = t/96

t = 3 * 96

t = 288 years

The mass of europium-151 when the rock was discovered is obtained from;

Fraction of  samarium-151  left = 1/8

Fraction of  europium-151 formed = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8

Mass of  europium-151 = 7/8 * 5 = 4.375 g

What is the value of x
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, the algebraic expression should be any one of the forms such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. To find the value of x, bring the variable to the left side and bring all the remaining values to the right side. Simplify the values to find the result. Therefore, the value of x is -10.

Question 1: 3/4n+16=2-1/8n. Show work plzz for all i need help due tomorrow!!!
Bezzdna [24]
1) Multiply everything by 8. It clears the fractions.
 It gives you 6n + 128 =16 - n
You add the -n to the other side of the equation.
It gives you 7n + 128= 16
You then subtract 128 from 16.
It gives you 7n= -112
You divide everything by 7
It gives you n=-17
