Answer: Hmmmmm that's crazy....

There are a couple of equations one could use for this type of problem, but I find the following to be the easiest to use and to understand.

Fraction remaining (FR) = 0.5n

n = number of half lives that have elapsed

In this problem, we need to find n and are given the FR, which is 1.56% or 0.0156 (as a fraction).

0.0156 = 0.5n

log 0.0156 = n log 0.5

-1.81 = -0.301 n

n = 6.0 half lives have elapsed

Just wanted to help. Hopefully it's correct wouldn't want to waster your time ;)

Does it take faster for sugar or color (tint) to dissolve in water and WHY?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:that sugar dissolves faster in a warm liquid than in a cool

Explanation:

Molecular diffusion, often simply called diffusion, is the thermal motion of all (liquid or gas) particles at temperatures above absolute zero. The rate of this movement is a function of temperature, viscosity of the fluid and the size (mass) of the particles. Diffusion explains the net flux of molecules from a region of higher ... Diffusion of solvents,

Alinara [238K]
How difficult it is to change an objects motion. Think of a tablecloth; it takes energy to move it from underneath objects on the table, and it takes energy to move the objects themselves on the table.
