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

Ocean water contains 3.5 nacl by mass. what mass of ocean water in grams contains 45.8 g of nacl
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Mass percentage of sodium chloride(NaCl) in ocean waters = 3.5 %

That means 3.5 g sodium chloride(NaCl) is present for every 100 g of ocean water.

The given mass of sodium chloride(NaCl) is 45.8 g

Calculating the mass of ocean waters that would contain 45.8 g sodium chloride(NaCl):

45.8 g NaCl *\frac{100g ocean water}{3.5g NaCl}

                     = 1309 g ocean water

Therefore, 45.8 g sodium chloride is present in 1309 g ocean water.
