If you have 10,000 grams of a substance that decays with a half-life of 14 days, then how much will you have after 42 days?
question img

Answer:

1250

Explanation:

Used a half life calculator, put in the given variables, and the answer was the remaining quantity. Got it right on the test as well

The answer is 1250 grams of substance will be left after 42 days.

What is Half Life ?Half-life time is the time needed for the reactants to be in its half concentration.

It is known that the decay of a radioactive isotope obeys first order kinetics.

Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.

If reactant has initial concentration [A₀],

after half-life time its concentration will be ([A₀]/2).

The half-life time of the substance = 14 days.

42 days means 3 half life

After 1 half life the substance left is

= 10000/2

= 5000 grams

After second Half Life

=5000/2

=2500 grams

After Third Half Life

=2500/2

=1250 grams

Therefore 1250 grams of substance will be left after 42 days.

Reread this passage from Mark Twain's speech, "Advice to Youth"? Now as to the matter of lying. You want to be very careful about lying; otherwise you are nearly sure to get caught. Once caught, you can never again be in the eyes of the good and the pure, what you were before. Many a young person has injured himself permanently through a single clumsy and ill finished lie, the result of carelessness born of incomplete training. What is Mark Twain's advice to young people, regarding lying? Only lie to people who are not likely to know the truth. Learn to lie well so that you don't get caught. Don't making lying a regular habit--use it as a last resort. Never lie to anyone--it will only ruin your reputation.

Answer: Never lie to anyone--it will only ruin your reputation.

Explanation:

Mark Twain in this excerpt is telling the youth not to lie because they would likely be caught and once caught, it would be very hard for people to completely trust them again because their reputation would be ruined.

The last sentence infers that the youth should not lie because they are not yet capable of telling good lies. One can take this to mean that Twain did not mind adults lying but other statements by him seem to support a stance that one should avoid lying completely.

Answer:

Learn to lie well so that you don't get caught
