Answer:

25% thorium will left after 50 days.

Explanation:

Half life:

A nuclear half is the time period of radioactive material in which its amount remain halved.

In given question it is stated that the half life thorium-234 is 25 days. Which means after passing the 25 days the amount of thorium must be halved of original amount.

For example,

If the original concentration was 100%, than after 25 days it will be 50%.

After 50 days amount of thorium left:

Number of half life = T (elapsed) / T half life

Number of half life = 50/25

Number of half life =  2

At first half life amount of thorium left = 100/2 = 50

After second half life amount of thorium left = 50/2 = 25

Total amount decayed = 50+25 = 75

Amount left after 50 days = 100-75 = 25

25% thorium will left after 50 days.

Answer:

Option C. 52.057

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Isotope >> Mass number > Percentage

A (Cr-50) > 50 >>>>>>>>>> 4.3

B (Cr-52) > 52 >>>>>>>>>> 83.8

C (Cr-53) > 53 >>>>>>>>>> 9.5

D (Cr-54) > 54 >>>>>>>>>> 2.4

Average atomic mass =?

The average atomic mass of chromium, Cr can be obtained as follow:

Average atomic mass = [(Mass of A × A%) /100] + [(Mass of B × B%) /100] + [(Mass of C × C%) /100] + [(Mass of D × D%) /100]

Atomic mass of Cr = [50×4.3)/100] + [52×83.8)/100] + [53×9.5)/100] + [54×2.4)/100]

= 2.15 + 43.576 + 5.035 + 1.296

Atomic mass of Cr = 52.057

Therefore, the atomic mass of chromium, Cr is 52.057
