From the calculations, the half life of the material is 6.5 days.
<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>
The term radioactivity has to do with the spontaneous disintegration of a specie.
Uisng the formula;
N=Noe^-kt
N= amount at time t = 0.135 Ci or 4.995 ×10^9 Bq
No = amount initially present = 1.75 x 10^12 Bq
k = rate constant = ?
t = time taken = 55 days
Hence;
4.995 ×10^9 = 1.75 x 10^12e^-55k
4.995 ×10^9/1.75 x 10^12 = e^-55k
2.85 * 10^-3 = e^-55k
ln2.85 * 10^-3 = -55k
k = ln2.85 * 10^-3/-55
k = 0.1066 day-1
Half life = 0.693/ 0.1066 day-1
= 6.5 days

Answer:
Percent error = 20%
Explanation:
The percent error is calculated using the following equation:
Percent error = |(approximate value - exact value)| / (exact value) x 100%
In this problem, the approximate value was 184 mL and the exact value was 230.0 mL
Percent error = |(184 mL - 230.0 mL)| / (230.0 mL) x 100% = 20%
An acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions. Because of this, when an acid is dissolved in water, the balance between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is shifted. Now there are more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions in the solution. This kind of solution is acidic.
