I think this question is a true statement :)
The number of grams of radon 222 did it have 15.2 ago was 49.6 grams( answer C)
<u>calculation</u>
- calculate the number of half life it has covered from 15.2 days to 3.8 days
that is divide 15.2/ 3.8 = 4 half life
- half life is time taken for a radio activity of a specified isotope to fall to half its original mass
therefore 3.8 days ago it was 3.1 x2 = 6.2 grams
7.6 days ago it was 6.2 x2 = 12.4 grams
11.4 days ago it was 12.4 x2= 24.8 grams
15.2 days ago it was 24.8 x2=49.6 grams
The equation that shows the formation of chromium (ii) ion from neutral chromium atom is as follow
Cr ---> cr^2+ + 2e-
Cr^2+ is the chromium ion with oxidation state of two which is one of the common ion of chromium. Other common ion of chromium include chromium of oxidation state 6 and 3
When you are converting grams to moles, the operation that you will be doing is dividing by the molar mass to obtain the amount of moles of the given sample.
