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"

In another experiment, a 0.150 M BF4^-(aq) solution is prepared by dissolving NaBF4(s) in distilled water. The BF4^-(aq) ions in
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A) Forward rate = 1.1934 × 10^(-4) M/min

B) I disagree with the claim

Explanation:

A) We are told that [HF] reaches a constant value of 0.0174 M at equilibrium.

The reversible reaction given to us is;

BF4-(aq) +H20(l) → BF3OH-(aq) + HF(aq)

From this, we can see that the stoichiometric ratio is 1:1:1:1

Thus, concentration of [BF4-] is now;

[BF4-] = 0.150 - 0.0174

[BF4-] = 0.1326 M

From the rate law, we are told the forward rate is kf [BF4-].

We are given Kf = 9.00 × 10^(-4) /min

Thus;

Forward rate = 9.00 × 10^(-4) /min × (0.1326M)

Forward rate = 1.1934 × 10^(-4) M/min

(B) The student claims that the initial rate of the reverse reaction is equal to zero can't be true because at equilibrium, rates for the forward and reverse reactions are usually equal.

Thus, I disagree with the claim.
