In 5.49 seconds, 1.80 g of argon-35 decay to leave only 0.225 g. What is the half-life of argon-35?

Half life = 1.83 sec

Explanation:

Given data:

Total amount of Ar-35 = 1.80 g

Amount left after 5.49 sec = 0.225 g

Half life of Ar-35 = ?

Solution:

At time zero = 1.80 g

At first half life = 1.80 g/2 = 0.9 g

At 2nd half life = 0.9 g/2 = 0.45 g

At 3rd half life = 0.45 g/2 = 0.225 g

Half life:

Half life = Time elapsed / number of half lives

Half life = 5.49 sec / 3

Half life = 1.83 sec

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.
