Simply put, density is how tightly “stuff” is packed into a defined space.
For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up in three dimensions.
Density is calculated using the following equation: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v.
If something is heavy for its size, it has a high density. If an object is light for its size it has a low density.
The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float.
Answer:
Explanation:
count given by old sample = .97 disintegrations per minute per gram
count given by fresh sample = 6.68 disintegrations per minute per gram
Half life of radioactive carbon = 5568 years
rate of disintegration
dN / dt = λ N
In other words rate of disintegration is proportional to no of radioactive atoms present . As number reduces rate also reduces .
Let initial no of radioactive be N₀ and after time t , number reduces to N
N₀ / N = 6.68 / .97
Now
λ is disintegration constant
λ = .693 / half life
= .693 / 5568
= .00012446 year⁻¹
Putting the values in the equation above
1.929577 = .00012446 t
t = 15503.6 years .

The answer is: D.unstable nuclei emitting high-energy particles as they formed more stable compositions.
Those high-energy particles are alpha particles
, beta particles
, gamma radiation.
For example, the decay chain of ²³⁸U is called the uranium series.
Decay start with U-238 and ends with Pb-206. There are several alpha and beta minus decays.
Antoine Henri Becquerel (1852 – 1908) was a French physicist and the first person to discover evidence of radioactivity.
Becquerel wrapped fluorescing crystal (uranium salt potassium uranyl sulfate) in a cloth, along with the photographic plate and a copper Maltese cross.
Several days later, he discovered that a image of the cross appeared on the plate.
The uranium salt was emitting radiation.
Because of this discovery, Becquerel won a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, which he shared with Marie Curie and Pierre Curie.
There are 20.8 moles of propanol
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
The mole is the number of particles(molecules, atoms, ions) contained in a substance
1 mol = 6.02.10²³ particles
Can be formulated
N=n x No
N = number of particles
n = mol
No = Avogadro's = 6.02.10²³
1.2 x 10⁵ molecules of propanol
