It's (D), nuclear fission................
Answer:
Step 1 should be convert atoms to moles (n). Step 2 should be convert moles (n) to mass (m).
Step 1
Use dimensional analysis to convert the number of atoms to moles.
1 mole atoms = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms
n(Ag) = 2.3 × 10²⁴ Ag atoms × (1 mol Ag/6.022 × 10²³ Ag atoms) = 3.8193 mol Ag
Step 2
Convert the moles of Ag to mass.
mass (m) = moles (n) × molar mass (M)
n(Ag) = 3.8193 mol Ag
M(Ag) = atomic weight on the periodic table in g/mol = 107.868 g Ag/mol Ag
m(Ag) = 3.8193 mol × 107.868 g/mol = 412 g Ag = 410 g Ag rounded to two significant figures
The mass of 2.3 × 10²⁴ Ag atoms is approximately 410 g.
Explanation:
I had the same question, it's most likely B.
We can use two equations for this problem.<span>
t1/2 = ln
2 / λ = 0.693 / λ
Where t1/2 is the half-life of the element and λ is
decay constant.
20 days = 0.693 / λ
λ = 0.693 / 20 days
(1)
Nt = Nο eΛ(-λt) (2)
Where Nt is atoms at t time, No is the initial amount of substance, λ is decay constant and t is the time
taken.
t = 40 days</span>
<span>No = 200 g
From (1) and (2),
Nt = 200 g eΛ(-(0.693 / 20 days) 40 days)
<span>Nt = 50.01 g</span></span><span>
</span>Hence, 50.01 grams of isotope will remain after 40 days.
