Answer:
- <u>b. three half-lives</u>
Explanation:
The number of half-lives elapsed, n, is calculated dividing the time by the half-life time:
- n = time / half-life time
<u>a. A sample of Ce-141 with a half-life of 32.5 days after 32.5 days</u>
- n = 32.5 days / 32.5 days = 1 half-life
<u />
<u>b. A sample of F-18 with a half-life of 110 min after 330 min</u>
- n = 330 min / 110 min = 3 half-lives
<u />
<u>c. A sample of Au-198 with a half-life of 2.7 days after 5.4 days</u>
- n = 5.4 days / 2.7 days = 2 half-lives
Answer: The molarity of 198 g of barium iodide
in 2.0 L of solution is 0.253 M.
Explanation:
Given: Mass = 198 g
Volume = 2.0 L
Molarity is the number of moles of solute present in liter of a solution.
Moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, moles of barium iodide (molar mass = 391.136 g/mol) is calculated as follows.

Now, molarity is calculated as follows.

Thus, we can conclude that the molarity of 198 g of barium iodide
in 2.0 L of solution is 0.253 M.
