Because light travels faster than sound
Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass.
The original mass is 200 g
Time taken is 60 hours
Final mass is 25 g
Therefore;
Final mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n; where n is the number of half lives.
25 = 200 (1/2)^n
1/8 = (1/2)^n
n = 3
Three half lives = 60 hours
1 half lives = 20 hours
Therefore; the half life of the radioactive nucleus is 20 hours
Explanation:
Let us assume that the given data is as follows.
mass of barium acetate = 2.19 g
volume = 150 ml = 0.150 L (as 1 L = 1000 ml)
concentration of the aqueous solution = 0.10 M
Therefore, the reaction equation will be as follows.

Hence, moles of
=
.......... (1)
As, No. of moles =
Hence, moles of
will be calculated as follows.
No. of moles =
=
(molar mass of
is 255.415 g/mol)
= 
Moles of
= 
= 0.01715 mol
Hence, final molarity will be as follows.
Molarity = 
= 
= 0.114 M
Thus, we can conclude that final molarity of barium cation in the solution is 0.114 M.
Explanation:
When the reaction takes place,2 grams of carbon dioxide will be made but vaporized into air.
