Answer:
13 years
Explanation:
From;
0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (No/N)
Where;
t1/12 = half-life of Cobalt-60 = 5.3 years
t = time taken = the unknown
No = mass of radioactive material originally present = 5.2 g
N = mass of radioactive material at time t = 0.95 g
Substituting values;
0.693/5.3 = 2.303/t log (5.2/0.95)
0.131 = 2.303/t(0.738)
0.131 = 1.6996/t
t = 1.6996/0.131
t = 12.97 years
t = 13 years(to the nearest whole number)
Answer is: Yes it is balanced. It has the same number of Ca and O on both the reactant side and the product side.
According to principle of mass conservation, number of atoms must be equal on both side of chemical reaction.
There is one calcium atom atom and one oxygen atom on both side of reaction, so chemical reaction is balanced.
