The amount of substance present in a certain object with a given half-life in terms of h can be expressed through the equation,
A(t) = (A(o))(0.5)^(t/h)
where A(t) is the amount of substance after t years and A(o) is the original amount. In this item we are given that A(t)/A(o) is equal to 0.89. Substituting the known values,
0.89 = (0.5)(t / 5730 years)
The value of t from the equation is 963.34 years.
<em>Answer: 963 years</em>

Answer:
Barium has the same number of valence electrons as calcium
Explanation:
Valence electrons is the number of electrons of an atom on the outer shell.
Those valence electrons can participate in the formation of a chemical bond (if the outer shell is not closed); in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.
<u>Calcium</u> is an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons.
<u>Sulfur </u>is part of a group 16, called the chalcogens or oxygen family. Those atoms have 6 valence electrons. They can form a bound with atoms of group 2 such as calcium, but do not have the same number of valence electrons.
<u>Potassium</u> is part of group 1, called the alkali metals or lithium family. Those atoms have 1 valence electrons. That means Potassium do not have the same number of valence electrons like calcium.
<u>Neon</u> is part of group 18, the noble gasses. Those are stable atoms, which means they have 8 valence electrons. They do not have the same number of valence electrons like Calcium.
<u>Barium</u> an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons. Calcium is also part of this group.
This means barium has the same number of valence electrons as Calcium.
