<h3>
Answer:</h3>
6.25 atoms
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given</u>;
- The half life of Po-218 is 3 minutes
- Initial sample is 200 atom
- Time of decay is 15 minutes
We are required to calculate the remaining mass after decay;
Half life refers to the time taken for original amount of a radioactive sample to decay to a half.
To calculate the remaining mass we use the formula;
N = N₀ × 0.5^n where n is the number of half lives, N is the new amount and N₀ is the original amount.
n = 15 min ÷ 3 min
= 5
Therefore;
New amount = 200 atom × 0.5^5
= 6.25 atoms
Therefore; the amount of the sample that will remain after 15 minutes is 6.25 atoms.
Scientists use radioactive decay to date fossils and artifacts through a process called "carbon dating," which measures the amount of carbon still left in a dead object. The less carbon that exists, the longer that animal or plant as been dead.
I think its b or a
i hope i help
Answer:
As we know that,atomicity means number of atoms present in a molecule or compound. =3 atoms. So,the atomicity of CO2 is 3
