Answer:
2.15 mg of uranium-238 decays
Explanation:
For decay of radioactive nuclide-
where N is amount of radioactive nuclide after t time, is initial amount of radioactive nuclide and
is half life of radioactive nuclide
Here ,
and
So,
so, N = 2.446 mg
mass of uranium-238 decays = (4.60-2.446) mg = 2.15 mg
The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)
<h3>Further explanation </h3>Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles γ
- positron particles ₁e⁰
O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same
Reaction
The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7
If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)
