The radioactive decay of a certain sample produced 846 disintegrations per minute. exactly 3.00 days later, the rate of decay was found to be 269 disintegrations per minute. calculate the half-life, in days, for the decay of this sample.

Explanation:

1. Calculate the decay constant

The integrated rate law for radioactive decay is 1

where

A₀ and A_t are the counts at t = 0 and t

k is the radioactive decay constant

2. Calculate the half-life

The half-life for decay is .

explanation:

venn diagram is pictorial representation with of circles showing the relation between two finite sets or things. the intersection part of two circles conveys the relation present in between those sets or things.

here in the venn diagram of sand and salt two circles represent sand and salt. but the area falling under the intersection of these circle represents the mixture of sand and salt.

so, in a venn diagram the mixture will be placed in a middle that is in between the intersection of two circles.

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
