The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.
Relative to the Earth . . . 
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of 
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.
Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period 
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse, 
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit 
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.
I'm sorry if that seems complicated.  You know that motion is 
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.
        
                    
             
        
        
        
<span>Earthquakes often cause dramatic changes at Earth's surface. In addition to the ground movements, other surface effects include changes in the flow of groundwater, landslides, and mudflows. Earthquakes can do significant damage to buildings, bridges, pipelines, railways, embankments, dams, and other <span>structures</span></span>
        
             
        
        
        
The neutral pH is 7. Less than 7 indicates an acid and more than 7 indicates a base (up to 14).
<span>
NaCl - it's a salt (we can't measure the pH)
H2O - it can be an acid but also a base  (the pH it is almost neutral,meaning close to 7 )
HF - it is a strong acid 
</span><span>
KOH 
- it is a strong base (pH=14)

He needs to use HF (Hydrogen fluoride) to decrease the pH.
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
8.61 min
Explanation:
original mass= 12.65
first half life = 12.65/2 = 6.325
second half life = 6.325/2 = 3.1625
Note : 3.1625 is the closest to the value (3.115) given so we work with it 
total time for decay =17.22
therefore two decays = 17.22/2= 8.61
