Chemistry

Density and buoyancy, molarity and dilution, and radioactive or any other exponential half-life.

Three calculations that come up again and again in a lab or a classroom. Density is mass over volume, and comparing it with a fluid's density says whether something floats and how much of it sits below the surface: an object at 600 kg/m³ floats in water with 60% of its volume submerged. Molarity is moles of solute per litre of solution, worked out from a mass and a molar mass you enter, with the dilution equation for making a weaker solution from a stock one. Half-life turns any exponential decay into how much is left after a time, how long it takes to fall to a level, or what the half-life must be; the mean lifetime, about 1.44 half-lives, is shown beside it because the two are often confused. No material, compound or drug values are stored.
