Answer:
320 g
Step-by-step explanation:
The half-life of Co-63 (5.3 yr) is the time it takes for half of it to decay.
After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.
After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.
We can construct a table as follows:
No. of Fraction Mass
half-lives t/yr Remaining Remaining/g
0 0 1
1 5.3 ½
2 10.6 ¼
3 15.9 ⅛ 40.0
4 21.2 ¹/₁₆
We see that 40.0 g remain after three half-lives.
This is one-eighth of the original mass.
The mass of the original sample was 8 × 40 g = 320 g

Answer:
Explanation:
They gave us the masses of two reactants and asked us to determine the mass of the product.
This looks like a limiting reactant problem.
1. Assemble the information
We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.
Mᵣ: 239.27 32.00 207.2
2PbS + 3O₂ ⟶ 2Pb + 2SO₃
m/g: 2.54 1.88
2. Calculate the moles of each reactant
3. Calculate the moles of Pb from each reactant
4. Calculate the mass of Pb
