Answer:

4860 years

Explanation:

From

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

Where:

No= mass as time t=0

N= mass at time t

t= time

t1/2= half life

0.125/1 = (1/2)^t/1620

1/8 = (1/2)^t/1620

(1/2)^3= (1/2)^t/1620

3= t/1620

t= 3×1620

t= 4860 years

We can calculate years by using the half-life equation. It is expressed as:

A = Ao e^-kt

<span>where A is the amount left at t years, Ao is the initial concentration, and k is a constant.

</span>From the half-life data, we can calculate for k.

1/2(Ao) = Ao e^-k(1620)
<span>k = 4.28 x 10^-4
</span>
0.125 = 1 e^-<span>4.28 x 10^-4 (</span>t)
t = 4259 years

Mass=volume x density
if we have mass and density we can calculate volume using the formula: volume=mass/density
volume of the displaced water = 600g/19.3g/cm3

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

\huge\boxed{Option C}

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>CALORIMETER:</h2>

Calorimeter is device used for the measurement of heat. In a calorimeter we can use the temperature change of water to quantify an amount of heat.  A calorimeter just captures all the energy released (or absorbed) by a reaction in the water. So Option A and B are wrong as calorimeter don't have anything to do with providing the heat or letting the the heat in, as it is the insulated calorimeter too.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Energy in the reaction:</h2>

In the formation of any bond there is equal amount of heat required as to break that bond. It means Energy released in the making of bond is equal to the energy required in the breaking of the bond. So Option D is wrong as it says we need more energy in making then breaking.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Enthalpy:</h2>

Enthalpy is the total heat content of the system. As we provide energy to the reactants and the product is formed, so The enthalpy(heat content) of product is more than the Enthalpy of the reactant, Thus Option C is correct.

Enthalpy is denoted by H or Q, its formula is,

                                       H = U + PV

Where,

           U is internal energy

           PV is equals to Work done ; P = Pressure, V = Volume
