Answer:

The amount left after 20 years = 154.15 mg

Explanation:

The amount left after 20 years = 154.15 mg

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

The main particles are emitted by radioactive elements so that they generally decay are alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma (γ) particles  

The decay formula for isotope :

\tt \large{\boxed{\bold{A(t)=217e^{-0.0171t}}}

Then for t=20 years, the amount left :

\tt A(t)=217e^{-0.0171\times 20}\\\\A(t)=154.15~mg

Three separate 3.5g blocks of al, cu, and fe at 25°c each absorb 0.505 kj of heat. which block reaches the highest temperature?
77julia77 [94]

The energy can be shown as:

Q = ms dT

Whereas, m is the mass of block

s is specific heat

dT is change in temperature.

Copper block having the lowest specific heat and thus having the higher change in temperature and therefore having the higher final temperature.

The reason it takes so much heat to melt ice or evaporate water is that extra energy is required to break _______ bonds between
mart [117]

It takes so much heat to melt ice or evaporate water because extra energy is required to break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules.

<h3>Hydrogen bond</h3>

Hydrogen bonding is an electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen atom found between a pair of other atoms having a high affinity for electrons.

Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other creating cohesion.

It takes so much heat to melt ice or evaporate water because extra energy is required to break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules.

According to the law of conservation of mass, if an element A has an atomic mass of 2 mass units and element B has an atomic mas
LenaWriter [7]
The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed. Since we have 2 g/mol of A and 3 g/mol of B then AB should be equal to the sum of their molar mass that is 

2 g/mol + 3 g/mol = 5 g/mol AB

for the case of A2B3

A2 = 2 * 2 = 4 g/mol
B3 = 3 * 3 = 9 g/mol

therefore A2B3 = 13 g/mol
