The   number  of grams of  radon 222 did it have 15.2  ago was  49.6 grams( answer  C)

 <u>calculation</u>

  • calculate the number of half life it has covered    from   15.2  days to 3.8 days

             that is  divide 15.2/ 3.8 = 4 half life

  •  half  life is time taken for a radio activity  of a specified isotope to fall to half its original mass

therefore  3.8 days ago  it was  3.1 x2 =  6.2 grams

                  7.6 days ago  it was 6.2 x2 = 12.4 grams

                   11.4  days  ago it was 12.4  x2=  24.8  grams

                  15.2  days  ago  it was  24.8 x2=49.6 grams

Why chlorine has high electroaffinity than flourine​
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Fluorine has seven electrons in 2p-subshell whereas chlorine has seven electrons in its 3p-subshell. 3p-subshell is relatively larger than 2p-subshell. Therefore, repulsion among the electrons will be more in the 2p-shell of fluorine than 3p-subshell in chlorine.  Due to the smaller size and thus, the greater electron-electron repulsions, fluorine will not accept an incoming electron with the same as chlorine.

A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 70 % that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: 2948

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.69}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5730}=1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

t = age of sample  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = \frac{70}{100}\times 100=70

t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{70}

t=2948years

Thus the fossil is 2948 years old.
