Asample of a material has 200 radioactive particles in it today. your grandfather measured 400 radioactive particles in it 90 years ago.

a) 90 years from today, how many radioactive particles will the sample have?

b) 180 years from today, how many radioactive particles will the sample have?

Explanation:

Half life is the time at which the concentration of the reactant reduced to half. So, according to the given question, the particles decayed from 400 particles to 200 particles in 90 years.

It means that the half life of the decay is 90 years.

(a) 90 years from now, means that another half life is achieved means, 200 will reduced to half on decay.

Thus, The sample will have 100 radioactive particles.

(a) 180 years from now, means that 2 half lives is achieved means, 200 will reduced to half and then again half on decay.

Thus, The sample will have 50 radioactive particles.

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.

have a great day because if you dont you and i will be sad
