The radon-222 sample has a half-life of 3.8 days, and we are asked how many times would the mass divide in half after 23 days. First we calculate the amount of times division occurs by taking the number of days and dividing that by the number of days for one half-life to occur: 23/3.8 = 6.05.
We have 198.6 grams of sample, and we are going to divide it in half 6 times to determine how much of it remains after 23 days: 198.6/2 = 99.3 grams 99.3/2 = 49.65 grams 49.65/2 = 24.83 grams 24.83/2 = 12.41 grams 12.41/2 = 6.21 grams 6.21/2 = 3.1 grams
Therefore, we are left with 3.1 grams of radon-222 after 23 days if one half-life equals to 3.8 days.
A substance that readily burns
when it comes into contact with a flame has the chemical property of
reactivity. The answer is letter C. Reactivity is a chemical property of a
substance. According to EPA regulations, it is normally unstable and readily undergoes
violent change without detonating. it can explode or violently react when
exposed to water, when heated, or under STP.
