For this problem we can use half-life formula and radioactive decay formula.

Half-life formula,
t1/2 = ln 2 / λ

where, t1/2 is half-life and λ is radioactive decay constant.
t1/2 = 8.04 days

Hence,         
8.04 days    = ln 2 / λ                         
λ   = ln 2 / 8.04 days

Radioactive decay law,
Nt = No e∧(-λt)

where, Nt is amount of compound at t time, No is amount of compound at  t = 0 time, t is time taken to decay and λ is radioactive decay constant.

Nt = ?
No = 1.53 mg
λ   = ln 2 / 8.04 days = 0.693 / 8.04 days
t    = 13.0 days 

By substituting,
Nt = 1.53 mg e∧((-0.693/8.04 days) x 13.0 days))
Nt = 0.4989 mg = 0.0.499 mg

Hence, mass of remaining sample after 13.0 days = 0.499 mg

The answer is "e"

Which compound is an electrolyte?<br> (1) C6H12O6 (3) CaCl2<br> (2) CH3OH (4) CCl4
slavikrds [6]
I think the correct answer is option 3. CaCl2 is the compound that is an electrolyte when dissolved in water. An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity in solution. Calcium Chloride when in solution dissociates into ions which allows the flow of current in the solution.

Among the following options, a valid Lewis structure of __________ cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

d. IF3

Explanation:

The Octet rule posits that atoms gain, atom lose, or share electrons in order to have a full valence shell of 8 electrons. This statement occurs when atoms also combine to form molecules until they attain or share eight valence electrons either by losing or gaining eletrons.

From the given options, a valid Lewis structure that cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule is IF3
