Answer:
28g remain after 13.5 hours
Explanation:
Element decayment follows first order kinetics law:
ln[Pa-234] = -kt + ln [Pa-234]₀ <em>(1)</em>
<em>Where [Pa-234] is concentration after t time, k is rate constant in time, and [Pa-234]₀ is initial concentration</em>
Half-life formula is:
6.75 = ln2 / k
<em>k = 0.1027hours⁻¹</em>
Using rate constant in (1):
ln[Pa-234] = -0.1027hours⁻¹×13.5hours + ln [112.0g]
ln[Pa-234] = 3.332
[Pa-234] = <em>28g after 13.5 hours</em>
