<u>Answer:</u> The remaining sample of X is 6.9 grams.
<u>Explanation:</u>
All the radioactive reactions follow first order kinetics.
The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

The equation used to calculate time period follows:

where,
= initial mass of sample X = 78 g
N = remaining mass of sample X = ? g
t = time = 16.5 min
k = rate constant = 
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the remaining amount of sample X is 6.9 g
Answer:
.7934
Explanation:
Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time
A = 10.98
/ 13.84
A = .7934
