Answer:
Mass of original sample = 100 g
Explanation:
Half life of cesium-137 = 30.17 years
Where, k is rate constant
So,
The rate constant, k = 0.02297 year⁻¹
Time = 90.6 years
Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:
![[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_t%5D%3D%5BA_0%5De%5E%7B-kt%7D)
Where,
![[A_t]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_t%5D)
is the concentration at time t
![[A_0]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_0%5D)
is the initial concentration
Initial concentration = ?
Final concentration = 12.5 grams
Applying in the above equation, we get that:-
![12.5\ g=[A_0]e^{-0.02297\times 90.6}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=12.5%5C%20g%3D%5BA_0%5De%5E%7B-0.02297%5Ctimes%2090.6%7D)
![[A_0]=\frac{12.5}{e^{-0.02297\times 90.6}}\ g=100\ g](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_0%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B12.5%7D%7Be%5E%7B-0.02297%5Ctimes%2090.6%7D%7D%5C%20g%3D100%5C%20g)
<u>Mass of original sample = 100 g</u>

The correct answer would be the last one.
I believe it’s because they are trying to find other things that won’t pollute the environment as much, and they are also doing this because we are trying to reduce green house gas. Sorry if i’m wrong :(
