<h3>Answer:</h3>

18.75 grams

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Half-life refers to the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of the original mass.
  • In this case, the half-life of element X is 10 years, which means it takes 10 years for a given mass of the element to decay by half of its original mass.
  • To calculate the amount that remained after decay we use;

Remaining mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half-lives

Number of half-lives = Time for the decay ÷ Half-life

                                 = 40 years ÷ 10 years

                                  = 4

Therefore;

Remaining mass = 300 g × (1/2)⁴

                            = 300 g × 1/16

                             = 18.75 g

Hence, a mass of 300 g of an element X decays to 18.75 g after 40 years.

exis [7]

The answer should be A, flammability.


The isotopes of the same element would result in the same chemical properties, as the number of protons and electrons are not changed, meanwhile, the physical properties would be slightly different with each other because they have different numbers of electrons.


Out of the 4 options, only option A is a chemical property. Chemical properties are the properties of an element reacting with other substances that creates new substances at the end. While physical properties are the ones that does not produces new substances or any reactions. They are usually observable and measurable.


Therefore, since flammability is a chemical property, the answer is A.
