Answer: b} The exact time when an individual atom will decay can be accurately predicted.
c} After each half-life, the amount of radioactive material is reduced by half.
Explanation:
All radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.
Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant
t = time taken for decay process
a = initial amount of the reactant
a - x = amount left after decay process
Expression for calculating half life, which is the time taken by the half of the reactants to decompose is:

Answer:
263.1 is exactly three half-life, so the remaining portion is (1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2) of the original sample. That's 1/8 which is 12.5%
Answer:
2,760 grams NaCl
Explanation:
To find grams of NaCl, you need to (1) convert moles of Na to moles of NaCl (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction) and (2) convert moles of NaCl to grams (via molar mass from periodic table). The final answer should have 3 significant figures based on the given measurement.
2 Na + Cl₂ --> 2 NaCl
Molar Mass (NaCl) = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol
Molar Mass (NaCl) = 58.44 g/mol
47.2 moles Na 2 moles NaCl 58.44 grams
---------------------- x --------------------------- x ------------------------- =
2 moles Na 1 mole NaCl
= 2,758.368 grams NaCl
= 2,760 grams NaCl
