Answer:

Half life = 7.2 seconds

Explanation:

from \: decay \: equation \\ 2.303 log( \frac{n.}{nt} )  = kt \\ 2.303 log( \frac{50}{12.5} )  = k \times 14.4 \\ k =  \frac{2.303 log( \frac{50}{12.5} )}{14.4}  \\ k = 0.096288 {s}^{ - 1}  \\ since \: half \: life =  \frac{ ln(2) }{k}  \\ half \: life  =   \frac{ ln(2) }{0.096288}  \\ half \: life = 7.2 \: seconds

14.2 because basically you just divide it by 2 which would be half of it

That will work with all of those problems

So if it’s is a quarter of an isotope you’d divide by 4

Given the equation representing a reversible reaction:
tester [92]

Answer:

- Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and hydronium ion (H₃O⁺)

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the acid-base theory which states that acids are known as H⁺ donors, if we consider the direct reaction:

CH_3COOH(aq) + H_2O \rightarrow CH_3COO^-(aq) + H_3O^+(aq)

It is clear that the acetic acid is the first H⁺ donor as it losses one H⁺ to turn into the acetate ion. Moreover, if we consider the inverse reaction:

CH_3COO^-(aq) + H_3O^+(aq)\rightarrow CH_3COOH(aq) + H_2O

It is also clear that the hydronium ion is the second H⁺ donor as it losses one H⁺ to turn into water.

Best regards.

Why does earth have uranium
Rainbow [258]
The isotope U-235 is important because under certain conditions it can readily be split, yielding a lot of energy. It is therefore said to be 'fissile' and we use the expression 'nuclear fission'. Meanwhile, like all radioactive isotopes, they decay.

PLEASE HELP!!!
NNADVOKAT [17]

When you are collecting DNA, you could be looking for a few different things. A few examples could be skin cells, strands of hair, or possibly even a fingernail. Anything that comes from a person, including blood or saliva can be potential DNA that could help investigators to link a person back to a crime.

Investigators do not need a warrant for analyzing crime scenes due to the fact of the dangers of the fire. You must work quickly because accelerants tend to evaporate within days, sometimes hours. It is also important to note that finding the origin of the fire is very important, to make sure it won't be reignited. Debris is usually cleaned away quickly to ensure health and safety issues.

The point of origin of a fire is the lowest point, since fire burns upwards.

High explosive: Ignite almost instantly, like dynamite and TNT. Two different types are primary and secondary.

<em>Primary: easily ignited, very sensitive to heat and friction. often used to ignite other explosives. </em>

<em>Secondary: much less sensitive to heat and friction, might be ignited using other explosive materials. TNT and dynamite are both secondary. </em>

Low explosive: decompose slowly and include black and smokeless powder. They are the most common type of explosives, and are readily available.

1.0 x 10^2 m what is the frequency of the waves
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

f = 3 × 10⁶ Hz

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of wave = 1.0 ×10² m

Frequency = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of light = wavelength× frequency

Frequency = speed of light / wavelength

speed of light = 3× 10⁸ m/s

f = 3× 10⁸ m/s / 1.0 ×10² m

f = 3 × 10⁶ s⁻¹

s⁻¹ = Hz

f = 3 × 10⁶ Hz
