Answer:
So, you're dealing with a sample of cobalt-60. You know that cobalt-60 has a nuclear half-life of
5.30
years, and are interested in finding how many grams of the sample would remain after
1.00
year and
10.0
years, respectively.
A radioactive isotope's half-life tells you how much time is needed for an initial sample to be halved.
If you start with an initial sample
A
0
, then you can say that you will be left with
A
0
2
→
after one half-life passes;
A
0
2
⋅
1
2
=
A
0
4
→
after two half-lives pass;
A
0
4
⋅
1
2
=
A
0
8
→
after three half-lives pass;
A
0
8
⋅
1
2
=
A
0
16
→
after four half-lives pass;

Explanation:
now i know the answer
Double replacement :
2Na₃PO₄+3CaCl₂⇒6NaCl + Ca₃(PO₄)₂
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
1. A single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which one element replaces the other elements of a compound to produce new elements and compounds
2. Double-Replacement reactions. Happens if there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product
3. Combination/syntesis : 2 or more reactants combine to form a new compound
4. Decomposition : the reactant is decomposed into 2/more products
If we look at the reaction options available, all of them can be included in the double replacement reaction, but we only choose the reaction from Sodium phosphate and Calcium chloride which leads to options: C because it is balanced (from the number of atoms in the same reactant and product) and is in accordance with the chemical formula of each compound (both products and reactants)
