- The half-life of a radioactive material is about 34.2 years. How much of the material is left after 20 years?arrow_forwardEstimate the age of a newly discovered fossil for which the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 is R=1/1014.arrow_forwardThe half-life of radioactive iodine is 60 days. How much of a 50-mg sample will be left in 40 days?arrow_forward
- The half-life of radioactive iodine is 60 days. How much of a 50 mg sample will be left in 40 days?arrow_forwardIn 1906, San Francisco experienced an intense earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 on the Richter scale. In 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake also affected the San Francisco area, and measured 6.9 on the Richter scale. Compare the intensities of the two earthquakes.arrow_forwardThe half-life of magnesium-27 is 9.45 minutes. How much of a 10-mg sample will be left in 6 minutes?arrow_forward
- The half-life of radioactive actinium ( 227AC ) is 21.77 years. What percent of a present amount of radioactive actinium will remain after 19 years?arrow_forwardResearchers recorded that a certain bacteria population declined from 700,000 to 400,000 in 5 hours after the administration of medication. At this rate of decay, how many bacteria will there be 24 hours from the start of the experiment?arrow_forwardIn 2014, Chile experienced an intense earthquake with a magnitude of 8.2 on the Richter scale. In 2014, Los Angeles also experienced an earthquake which measured 5.1 on the Richter scale. Compare the intensities of the two earthquakes.arrow_forward
- . The half-life of palladium-100 is four days. (So half of any given quantity willdisintegrate in four days.) The initial mass of a sample is one gram.a. Find the mass that remains after 16 daysarrow_forwardDuring one the nurse’s hourly assessments, Ana is lethargic, her respirations are 8/minute and her DTRs are absent. The nurse identifies this as magnesium sulfate toxicity and after informing the obstetrician the following is ordered: stat magnesium level, stop the magnesium infusion, calcium gluconate, 1 gm IVP over 3 mins. One hour later her magnesium level is 7 mg , therapeutic for preeclampsia (4.7 to 8 mg/dl). The nurse evaluates the intervention. The patient has normal CNS functioning; is alert and oriented; respiratory rate is 16; DTR 2+, and urine output 75 mL so the magnesium sulfate is restarted at 1 g/hr per provider order. With the same solution of 40 g/liter, at what rate (mL/hr) would the nurse set the infusion pump?arrow_forwardYou are asked to make 300mL of a solution of concentrate X, which when diluted with water 1 in 10, produces a 1 in 1000 solution. You have a 500mL bottle of a 20 % w/v concentrate.arrow_forward
