Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Half life of the potassium-40 sample =t_{\frac{1}{2}}= 1.277\times 10^9 years

N = amount left after time t  = ?

Time = t =  1.277\times 10^9 years

N_0 = initial amount  = 500.3 g

\lambda = rate constant

\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{ 1.277\times 10^9 years}= 0.5426\times 10^{-9} year^{-1}

\log N=\log N_o\times -\frac{\lambda t}{2.303}

N = 1.95 g

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

What would be the effect on the nucleus of an atom if it emitted one alpha particle and one gamma ray
Oksana_A [137]
Unstable, radioactive atom emits alpha and gamma ray to transform into a stable atom.

Emitting an alpha particle, decreases the mass number by four and atomic number by two.
Emitting gamma ray reduces the excess energy of the radioactive atom.

Science is based primarily on peoples opinions and views of the subject matter.
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Science is not based on primarily on peoples opinions and views of the subject matter whereas science is based on empirical observations and research for its validity.

<u>Science aims to find answers to human questions related to the natural world through their research observation and experiments. Scientists and researchers provide valid proof of human questions so that people can trust them.</u>

Science can change people's opinions regarding the natural world with valid proof and observational theories but science is not based on people's opinion.

Hence, the given statement is "false".

Sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to produce sodium chloride. What mass (grams) of sodium metal would be needed to fully rea
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

105.8 g of Na would be required

Explanation:

Let's think the reaction:

2Na(s)  + Cl₂(g)  →  2NaCl (s)

1 mol of chlorine reacts with 2 moles of sodium

Then, 2.3 moles of Cl₂ would react with (2.3 .2) / 1 = 4.6 moles

Let's determine the mass of them.

4.6 mol . 23 g/mol = 105.8 g
