(1) 36 days is 8 half-life periods,
so 24mg becomes 24mg times (1/2)^8 = 24 mg/256 = 0.094 mg

(2) 9.6/1.2 = 8, which means three half-life periods went by.
At the end of 4.5 days, there were 4.8 mg
At the end of 9.0 days, there were 2.4 mg
At the end of 13.5 days, there were 1.2 mg

(3) The activity is proportional to the amount of radioactive material remaining,
so after two half-life periods, the activity should be 1/4 of what it originally was.
So the initial activity was probably 12.0 Ci

A student listed the characteristics of chemical and nuclear reactions.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

D. It is a chemical reaction because the total mass remains the same when new substances are formed.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is represented by a chemical equation which show the reactant and products. Reactants are written on left side of arrow while products are written on right side. The number of atoms are remain same however arrangement of atoms is different on both side.

For example:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy  →   C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

it is known from balanced chemical equation that 6 moles of carbon dioxide react with the six moles of water and created one mole of glucose and six mole of oxygen. The number of atoms are same on both side however arrangement of atoms is different.

While in case of nuclear reaction small change in mass take place.
