Radiation decrease over time due to the concentration of radioactive atoms and the concentration decreases as radioactive particles are emitted (Option D).

<h3>What is radiation?</h3>

Radiation refers to the transmission of energy by means of subatomic particles that travel as waves.

Radioactive isotopes are also known as radioisotopes, which have unstable combinations of subatomic particles (i.e., neutrons or protons) in their atomic nuclei, and thus may emit alpha particles, gamma rays or beta particles.

Radioactive isotopes such as C14 lost (emit) energy per unit of time, which is known as radiation or radioactive decay.

In conclusion, radiation decrease over time due to the concentration of radioactive atoms and the concentration decreases as radioactive particles are emitted (Option D).

How many molecules of manganese (IV) sulfate are there if you are given<br> 542.32 g?
Tomtit [17]

1.3 x 10²⁴molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Mn(SO₄)₂ = 542.32g

Unknown:

Number of molecules in the compound = ?

Solution:

The number of moles is the unit used to express the number of particles in a substance.

A mole contains 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

Molar mass Mn(SO₄)₂ = 55 + 2(32 + 4(16)) = 247g/mol

Number of moles = \frac{542.32}{247} = 2.2moles

  1 mole  =  6.02 x 10²³ molecules

2.2 moles =  2.2 x  6.02 x 10²³ molecules = 1.3 x 10²⁴molecules
