The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
We obviously cannot wait for 4 million years to determine the half-life of technetium, or even 87.7 years to determine the half-life of plutonium. The half-life of a substance is determined using a Geiger counter, which is essentially a tube filled with an inert gas. When a particle decays and produces radiation, it briefly ionizes the gas and produces a detectable electric pulse, which is amplified and counted by a detector (before digital displays were available, you would hear clicks and see a needle register on a dial). Determine the formula for the half-life of a substance with an initial count of No pulses and a count of N1 pulses M minutes later.
Answer:
M1/2 = 0.693/k
Explanation:
Given that the initial count rate is No pulses
The count rate after M minutes is N1
Then from;
A = Aoe^-kt
A= N1
Ao=No
I can now write;
N1 = Noe^-kM
The half life is the time taken for the activity of the radioactive nuclide to reach half its initial value. Hence;
N1/No =e^-kM = 1/2
Taking natural logarithm of both sides as shown below;
-kM1/2 = ln(1/2)
M1/2 = - (ln(1/2)/k)
M1/2 = 0.693/k

Help pleaseee!!!Please explain how evaporation condensation and precipitation are involved in the water cycle
Answer: The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere. ... Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow. Water in different phases moves through the atmosphere (transportation).
Explanation:
Answer:
water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow.
Explanation:
evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. condensation: this is when water vapor in the air cools down and turns back into liquid water. precipitation: this is when water (in the form of rain, snow, hail, or sleet) falls from clouds in the sky.

Think about a hot summer afternoon at the beach
or a lake. How do the temperatures of the sand
and water compare?
A. The sand is hot; the water is cool.
B. The sand is hot; the water is hot.
C. The sand is cool; the water is cool.
D. The sand is cool; the water is hot.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
I say this because of this that I read. There was a study shown
"Our experiment was a success. We obtained data that answered our problem, “Which substance absorbs the most heat on a hot day? Sand, water, or sand with water?” The results showed that from the twenty-five trials: the cup of sand temperature ranged from 63-68°C, cup of water temperature ranged from 71-77°C, and the cup of sand with water temperature ranged from 66-71°C. Based on our data, our hypothesis was incorrect. We hypothesized that the sand would absorb the most heat since it is darker and less reflective than water; but from our data, water absorbed the most heat. In conclusion, sand absorbed the least amount of heat and water absorbed the most. Next time we want to cool down at the beach, we’ll know where to go!"
This was an experiment that was performed and this is the conclusion
Hope that helps

Calculate the molecular mass for the following: SnO2
Answer:
[tex]MM=150.71g/mol[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since the molar masses of chemical compounds allow us to understand the mass they have per mole of substance, for tin oxide, we can see it has one tin atom and two oxygen atoms; thus, for the calculation of this molar mass we multiply the atomic masses by the number of atoms and them add the results up:
[tex]MM=m_{Sn}+2m_O\\\\MM=118.71g/mol+2*16.00g/mol\\\\MM=150.71g/mol[/tex]

Tris is a molecule that can be used to prepare buffers for biochemical experiments. It exists in two forms: Tris (a base) and TrisH (an acid). The MW of Tris base is 121.14 g/mol; the MW of TrisH is 157.6 g/mol (the extra weight is due to the Cl- counterion that is present in the acid). The Ka of the acid is 8.32 X 10-9. Assume that you have TrisH in solid form (a powder), unlimited 1M HCl, unlimited 1 M NaOH and an unlimited supply of distilled water. How would you prepare 1 L of a 0.02 M Tris Buffer, pH
Solution :
The reaction :
[tex]$\text{TrisH}^+ + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{Tris}^- +\text{H}_3\text{O}^+$[/tex]
We have
[tex]$K_a = \frac{[\text{Tris}^-]\times[\text{H}_3\text{O}^-]}{[\text{TrisH}^+]}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{x^2}{0.02-x}$[/tex]
[tex]$= 8.32 \times 10^{-9}$[/tex]
Clearing x, we have [tex]$x=1.29 \times 10^{-5}$[/tex] moles of acid
Now to reach pH = [tex]$7.8 (\text{ pOH} = 14-7.8 = 6.2)$[/tex], we must have an [tex]$OH^-$[/tex] concentration of
[tex]$[OH^-] = 10^{-pOH}$[/tex]
[tex]$=10^{-6.2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=6.31 \times 10^{-7}$[/tex] moles of base
We must add enough NaOH of 1 M to neutralize the acid calculated above and also add the calculated base.
[tex]$n \ NaOH = 1.29 \times 10^{-5} + 6.31 \times 10^{-7}$[/tex]
[tex]$=1.35 \times 10^{-5}$[/tex] moles
Vol [tex]$NaOH = 1.35 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles} \times \frac{1000 \ mL}{1 \ mol}$[/tex]
= 0.0135 L
Tris mass [tex]$H^+ = 0.02 \text{ mol} \times 157.6 \ g/mol$[/tex]
= 3.152 g
To prepare the said solution we must mix
-- [tex]$3.152 \ g \text{ TrisH}^+$[/tex]
-- [tex]$0.0135 \ mL \ NaOH \ 1M$[/tex]
-- [tex]$\text{Gauge to 1000 mL with H}_2\text{O}$[/tex]
Calculate the percent composition (out of 100) by weight of potassium in potassium carbonate decahydrate.
Answer:
12.26%
Explanation:
MM K = 39.1 g/mol
MM K2CO3 . 10H2O = 2x39.1 + 12.01 + 3 x 15.99 + 10 x 18.02= 318.38 g/mol
% by weight = (MM K/MM K2CO3.10H2O ) x 100= (39.1/318.8) x 100=12.26 %
The percent composition by weight of potassium in potassium carbonate decahydrate is 13.98%
Let's represent the chemical formula of the compound as follows;
potassium carbonate decahydrate = CH₂0KO₁₃
The molecular mass of the compound can be calculated as follows:
Molecular mass of CH₂₀KO₁₃molecular mass = 12 + 20 + 39 + (16×13) = 279 g/molmass of potassium = 39 g
Therefore,
% mass of potassium = 39 / 279 × 100
% mass of potassium = 3900 / 279
% mass of potassium = 13.9784946237
% mass of potassium = 13.98 %

a person measures the mass of a 10cm3 rock to be 15g. what is the density of the rock
Answer:
[tex]d=1.5\ g/cm^3[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of the rock, m = 15 g
The volume of the rock, V = 10 cm³
We need to find the density of the rock. The density of an object is equal to the mass per unit volume such that,
[tex]d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{15\ g}{10\ cm^3}\\\\d=1.5\ g/cm^3[/tex]
So, the density of the rock is equal to [tex]1.5\ g/cm^3[/tex].

a. The major source of carbon used by plants is the soil
b. The major source of nitrogen used by plants is the air.
c. Phosphorus has no atmospheric component.
d. Bacteria drive the phosphorus cycle.
Answer: The correct option is C.
Phosphorus has no atmospheric component.
Explanation:
This is because, phosphorus is not in gaseous state but it is liquid at normal temperature, therefore it cannot be found in the air. It is cycle through water,soil or sediments. The major source of phosphorus in the phosphorus cycle is the rock. Rock contain phosphorus and phosphorus I'd gotten from rocks through weathering. Weathering is the disintegration of rocks into sediments or smaller particles. This is released into the soil after weathering.

If a pure compound is distilled, the head temperature will be____compared to the pot temperature. If however, an impurity is present that strongly interacts with the liquid molecules, then the____has to be increased in order to increase the vapor pressure of the liquid, ultimately to____atmospheric pressure, allowing the liquid to boil. Thus, at boiling point, the pot temperature will be____from that of the head temperature.
Answer:
If a pure compound is distilled, the temperature of the head will be compared to the temperature of the pot. However, if there is an impurity present that strongly interacts with the molecules of the liquid, then the temperature must be increased to increase the vapor pressure of the liquid, eventually to atmospheric pressure, allowing the liquid to boil. Therefore, at the boiling point, the temperature of the pot will be higher than the temperature of the head.
Explanation:
when temperatures increase, pressures also do so, thus reaching boiling points where liquid states become gaseous.
