If we start with 48 g of a radioactive substance with a 2 hour 12 life, how much is left after two half-lives?

4 0

Explanation:

 Half-life is the time taken for a radioactive material to decay to half its original composition:

   Original mass = 48g

   Half- life  = 2hr

 

 After four half lives;

           Initially:                48g

    First halving                24

    Second halving          12

    Third halving               6

    Fourth halving             3

After second half life, we would have 12g

At fourth halving, we would have 3g

Answer:

<u>Question 2</u>

<u>Part (a)</u>

Chlorine:  type of compound = chloride

Oxygen:  type of compound = oxide

<u>Part (b)</u>

The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form rust.

A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms joined to one oxygen atom:  Di-hydrogen oxide.

<u>Question 3</u>

This circuit is in parallel.

The current in a parallel circuit splits into different branches then combines again before it goes back into the supply.

We are told that A₁ = 0.8 A

As the lamps have <u>equal resistance</u>, the current splits equally:

A₂ = 0.4 A

A₃ = 0.4 A

Then combines again:

A₄ = 0.8 A
