What is the half-life of strontium-90? please explain your answer!

Biology

The right answer is 28 years.

The half-life, or period of a radioactive isotope, is the time required for half of the nuclei of this isotope initially present to decay naturally.

One gram of pure 90 strontium has a radioactivity of 5.11 TBq. Its beta radiation is not penetrating, which makes it difficult to measure when it is in the soil or a matrix. It is very harmful when the particle is inhaled or ingested.

28 years.

The half life is exactly what it means. We want to know how many years it takes for the Strontium-90 to go from 100% to 50% to 25% etc

How might the management of nonrenewable resources be different fron the management of renewable resources?
Elden [556K]

Nonrenewable resources and found it fixed amount hence not managing properly will lead to full use of it and cannot be replaced

Explanation:

  • Nonrenewable resources are found in the ground and they are the natural resources created by nature
  • It includes fossil fuels, like natural gases, oil, coal, etc and also the minerals used for making metals
  • These natural resources have taken more than human's life span to form, up to million years. Hence, replacing of these natural resources are not possible
  • Renewable natural resources are trees, water, air. These resources can be recycled and they are also circulating in the atmosphere in the form of a cycle.
  • Hence, nonrenewable resources should be managed properly for it last for the coming generations.

Each isotope has a special name derived from Latin (protium, deuterium, and tritium). What structural feature do these names ref
Eduardwww [97]

An isotope of any element is the same, with a variation in the neutrons of the nucleus.

The mass number change but the atomic number doesn't.

In this case, protium, deuterium, and tritium are all hydrogen isotopes.

Protium is 1H or Hydrogen-1 is without neutrons.

Deuterium is 2H  or Hydrogen-2 has one neutron.

Tritium is 3H or Hydrogen-3 has two neutrons.

God PLEASE help. What does surface area-to-volume ratio, diffusion rate, and time for substances have anything to do with reachi
sasho [114]

Answer:

Surface area to volume ratio, in simple means the size of surface area to the volume of substance that can pass through it at a particular time.

Amoeba and some bacterias are flat and have large surface area to volume ratio. So the diffusion rate is very high due to large surface area.

Where as humans have small surface area: volume so diffusion is very slow or does not take place at all.

Explanation:

As the ratio gets smaller, it takes longer for items to diffuse.

Explanation:

When the cell increases in size, the volume increases faster than the surface area, because volume is cubed where surface area is squared.

When there is more volume and less surface area, diffusion takes longer and is less effective. This is because there is a greater area that needs to receive the substance being diffused, but less area for that substance to actually enter the cell.

this is actually why cells divide. When they become too large and it takes too long for them to transport materials across the cell, they lose efficiency and divide in half to raise the surface area to volume ratio.
