Answer:

The correct answer option is: the number in subscript.

Explanation:

When you are balancing any chemical equation, you must never touch or change the number in subscript of the molecule of a chemical or compound.

The number in subscript of any molecule or compound shows the ratio of atoms that makes up that certain molecule or compound.

You can only change or alter the number written left to the molecule of compound to balance the equation.

Answer:

1 g

Explanation:

The half-life of Am-242 (16 h) is the time it takes for half of it to disappear.

We can make a table of the mass left after each half-life.

$\begin{array}{cccc}\textbf{No. of} & & \textbf{Percent} & \textbf{Mass}\\\textbf{Half-lives} & \textbf{Time/h} & \textbf{Remaining} & \textbf{Remaining/g}\\0& 0 & 100 & 8\\1 & 16 &50 & 4\\2 & 32 & 25 & 2\\3 & 48 & 12.5 & 1\\4 & 64 & 6.25 & 0.5\\\end{array}$

The mass remaining after 48 h is 1 g.
