The correct answer is 9.6h.
As you know, a radioactive isotope's nuclear half-life tells you exactly how much time must pass in order for an initial sample of this isotope to be halved.
Using the formula , A = Ao.
where , A- final mass after decay
Ao - initial mass
n - the number of half-lives that pass in the given period of time
Now, putting all the values, we get
1.3 × mg = 0.050 mg ×
Take the natural log of both sides of the equation to get,
㏑ = ㏑
㏑ = n. ln
n = 1.6
Since n represents the number of half-lives that pass in a given period of time, you can say that
t= 1.6 × 6 h
t = 9.6h
Hence, it will take 9.6 h until the radioactive isotope decays.

Using the formula for radioactive decay and the provided half-life of technetium-99m, it can be calculated that it takes approximately 28.5 hours for 0.050 mg of technetium-99m to decay to a quantity of 1.3 x 10^-2 mg.
The decay of a radioactive isotope is an exponential process based on the half-life, which is, in turn, constant for any given isotope. The general formula for the remaining quantity of a radioactive isotope after a given time is given by: N = N0 (0.5) ^(t/t1/2), where (N0) is the initial amount, (N) is the remaining amount, (t) is time, and (t1/2) is the half-life of the isotope. In this case, we are given the initial quantity (N0 = 0.050 mg), the remaining quantity (N = 1.3 x 10^-2 mg), and the half-life (t1/2 = 6.0 hours).
We can solve for time (t) in the equation: N = N0 (0.5) ^(t/t1/2). Plugging in the values, we get 1.3 x 10^-2 = 0.050 x (0.5)^(t/6), and solving for t, we find that it takes approximately 28.5 hours for the technetium-99m to decay to 1.3 x 10^-2 mg.

Answer:
yes its correct, temperature is a measure of energy particles have, the more energy the faster they move and the higher the temp
Explanation:
Answer:
Initial concentration of acetic acid (CH3COOH_initial): 0.25 M
pKa for acetic acid: 4.76
Assume x is the concentration of H+ ions formed through dissociation.
CH3COOH ⇌ x (due to dissociation)
Apply the x-is-small approximation: We assume x is much smaller than the initial concentration of acetic acid (0.25 M). Therefore, we can neglect x in comparison to 0.25 M.
Calculate pH using the pKa equation:
Rounded to two decimal places, the pH of the acetic acid solution is approximately 2.68.
Explanation:
b. Carbon is ranked seventeenth in abundance in Earth's crust.
c. Carbon is readily found combined and uncombined in nature.
d. Carbon is found in all living matter and in common fuels including coal.
All the statements are true about carbon except option a. Carbon is not a major component of inorganic molecules.
Carbon is 6th element in periodic table. It is in 14th group and is a non-metal or gas. Carbon is present in all living matter and in common fuels including coal.
Carbon can be readily found in combined or non-combined state. Carbon is the major component of organic molecules and not that of inorganic molecules.
Organic molecules are hydrocarbons or their derivatives whose backbone is carbon chain. Therefore, option a is not true about carbon.

the salt bridge
c.

b.
one of the half-cells
d.
the moving electrons
Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
In a voltaic cell, salt bridge is used for connecting oxidation and reduction half cells.
The main purpose of using salt bridge in a voltaic cell is that it helps in maintaining electrical neutrality in the internal circuit occurring at anode and cathode of the cell.
Without salt bridge in a voltaic cell there will be imbalance of charges as a result solution in anode compartment will become positively charged whereas solution in cathode compartment will become negatively charged.
Thus, we can conclude that the salt bridge balances charges that may build up as reduction and oxidation occur in a voltaic cell.
