Answer:

10.8 days (3 sig.figs.)

Explanation:

All radioactive decay is 1st order decay defined by the expression A = A₀e^-kt

which is solved for time of decay (t) => t = ln(A/A₀) / -k

A = final weight = 1.0 gram

A₀ = initial weight = 16.0 grams

k = rate constant = 0.693/t(1/2) = 0.693/2.69 days = 0.258 days⁻¹

t = ln(1/16) / -0.258da⁻¹ = (-2.77/-0.258) days = 10.74646792 days (calculator)

≅ 10 days (1 sig. fig. based on given 1 gram mass)

Cecil writes the equation for the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen below.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

C) to show that atoms are conserved in chemical reactions

Explanation:

When writing a chemical reaction, we should always consider the Mass Conservation Law, which basically states that; in an isolated system; the total mass should remain constant, this is, the total mass of the reactives should be equal to the total mass of the products

For this case, we should add the apporpiate coefficients in order to be in compliance with this law:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

So, we can check the above statement:

For reactives (left side):

4H

2O

For product (right side):

4H

2O

Identify the variables in the investigation: An investigation was done with an electromagnetic system made from a battery and wi
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Independent: sizes of nails

Dependent: number of paper clips

Controlled: Battery, wire and type of nails

Explanation:

An independent variable is a variable which when changes does not the effect the results of the experiment. It does not depends upon the dependent variable.

A dependent variable is defined as a variable which is affected when the independent variable is changed by the researcher or the experimenter. It depends greatly upon the independent variable.

While a controlled variable is that variable whose value is not changed in an experiment. It contains all the constants.

In the context,

the independent variable are : sizes of nails

the dependent variables are : number of paper clips

the Controlled variables are: Battery, wire and type of nails
