This question is missing the part that actually asks the question. The questions that are asked are as follows:
(a) How much of a 1.00 mg sample of americium remains after 4 day? Express your answer using 2 significant figures.
(b) How much of a 1.00 mg sample of iodine remains after 4 days? Express your answer using 3 significant figures.
We can use the equation for a first order rate law to find the amount of material remaining after 4 days:
[A] = [A]₀e^(-kt)
[A]₀ = initial amount
k = rate constant
t = time
[A] = amount of material at time, t.
(a) For americium we begin with 1.00 mg of sample and must convert time to units of years, as our rate constant, k, is in units of yr⁻¹.
4 days x 1 year/365 days = 0.0110
A = (1.00)e^((-1.6x10^-3)(0.0110))
A = 1.0 mg
The decay of americium is so slow that no noticeable change occurs over 4 days.
(b) We can simply plug in the information of iodine-125 and solve for A:
A = (1.00)e^(-0.011 x 4)
A = 0.957 mg
Iodine-125 decays at a much faster rate than americium and after 4 days there will be a significant loss of mass.

Question is incomplete, the complete question is as follows:
A student wants to examine a substance by altering the bonds within its molecules. Which of the following properties of the substance should the student examine?
A. Toxicity, because it can be observed by altering the state of the substance
B. Boiling point, because it can be observed by altering the state of the substance
C. Toxicity, because it can be observed by replacing the atoms of the substance with new atoms
D. Boiling point, because it can be observed by replacing the atoms of the substance with new atoms
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
A student can examine a substance without altering the bonds within the molecules by examining its boiling point.
The boiling point is the property of a substance, at which the substance changes its state, which is from solid to liquid, liquid to gas and others. So, examining the boiling point will alter the bonds within the molecules as the state of substance will change.
Hence, the correct answer is "B".
This question seems to be an essay question from experiment. Different solution of oxidizing agent will have different strength. Sulfuric acid or H2SO4 is weaker oxidizing agent when compared to nitric acid (HNO3). In this case, if you subtitute the H2SO4 you wouldn't be able to get the same result for the experiment.
STP condition mean we have P=1 atm. T=273K. R=ideal gas constant, but make sure you use the one that has the same units of pressure, temperature that you are using. In this case R=0.0821 L*atm K^-1mol^1. You are provided with n=2.1 moles.
