Palladium is a non metal element. Atomic Mass of it is 106.
7.48
The count rate decreases to 12.5% of the initial value after 3 half-lives, as radioactivity is reduced by half during each half-life.
It is reduced.
Palladium consists of several isotopes. The density of a naturally occurring sample, which is a mixture of isotopes is 12.02 g/cm3. I have no reference material for individual isotopes. There is a book called the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics which may have this information.

If the solvent is above the level of the initial sample spots in a chromatography experiment, it can lead to the sample being dissolved or dispersed throughout the solvent, causing smudging of the spots and inaccurate separation of components. This can result in poor resolution and difficulty in analyzing the components present in the sample.
No. It depends on the number of bacteria present in the initial sample. If the number of bacteria in the initial sample are limited, you may get isolated colonies in the first streak. If the number of bacteria in the sample are high, it may take several streaks before the sample is diluted to the point where isolated colonies are evident.
Initial water content in the soil sample can be calculated using the initial mass and final mass after drying. Initial water content = (Initial mass - Final mass) = 1.38 kg - 1.13 kg = 0.25 kg. This is the mass of water in the soil sample.
A large sample reduces the variability of the estimate. The extent to which variability is reduced depends on the quality of the sample, what variable is being estimated and the underlying distribution for that variable.
In general, the confidence interval (CI) is reduced as the sample size is increased. See related link.
To find the original mass of the cesium-137 sample, you can use the exponential decay formula: final amount = initial amount * (1/2)^(time/half-life). With the information provided, you would have: 12.5 = initial amount * (1/2)^(90.69/30.1). Solving for the initial amount gives you approximately 40 grams.
The half-life is 5730. This is because the half-life is the amount of time it takes for half of a sample to decay. In this case, the sample is 100 atoms, and half of 100 is 50, so the amount of time it takes the sample to reach 50 atoms is it's half life...5730!
