Answer:

6400 years

Explanation:

Given that;

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

No = amount of radioactive material originally present

N = amount of radioactive material present at time t

t= time taken for N amount of radioactive material to remain

t1/2 = have life of the radioactive material

2.5/40 = (1/2)^t/1600

1/16 =  (1/2)^t/1600

(1/2)^4 = (1/2)^t/1600

4 = t/1600

t = 4 * 1600

t = 6400 years

Pure water is neutral. What is the appropriate justification for this? A. Water has equal H+ and OH- ions, making its pH 7, whic
Pani-rosa [81]
The correct solution for this is explained the first option. Since water has an equivalent amount or number of H ions and OH ions, pure water itself is not slightly acidic nor basic. This equality of ions, causes the pH of water to be around the mid point of the pH scale which goes from 0 - 14, and thus is 7. This is a neutral pH.
