The half life of oxygen is 2 minutes. What fraction of a sample of 0.15 will remain after 5 half lives?

3.13%.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Original amount (N₀) = 0.15

Half life (t½) = 2 mins

Number of half-life (n) = 5

Fraction of sample remaining =.?

Next, we shall determine the amount remaining (N) after 5 half-life. This can be obtained as follow:

Amount remaining (N) = 1/2ⁿ × original amount (N₀)

NOTE: n is the number of half-life.

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2⁵ × 0.15

N = 1/32 × 0.15

N = 0.15/32

N = 4.69×10¯³

Therefore, 4.69×10¯³ is remaining after 5 half-life.

Finally, we shall the fraction of the sample remaining after 5 half-life as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 0.15

Amount remaining (N) = 4.69×10¯³

Fraction remaining = N/N₀ × 100

Fraction remaining = 4.69×10¯³/0.15 × 100

Fraction remaining = 3.13%

coral.

explanation:

coral. many marine organisms that produce calcium carbonate shells or skeletons are negatively impacted by increasing co2 levels and decreasing ph in seawater.

c, liquids evaporate, creating a gas
