Answer:

100 g

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Original amount (N₀) = 400 g

Time (t) = 4 years

Half-life (t½) = 2 years

Amount remaining (N) =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) = 4 years

Half-life (t½) = 2 years

Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 4 / 2

n = 2

Thus, 2 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the amount remaining of the radioactive isotope. This can be obtained as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 400 g

Number of half-lives (n) = 2

Amount remaining (N) =?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2² × 400

N = 1/4 × 400

N = 0.25 × 400

N = 100 g

Thus, the amount of the radioactive isotope remaing is the 100 g.

Unit 1- Unit Assessment (Matter & Density)
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 11 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 3025 g

volume = 275 mL

We have

density =  \frac{3025}{275}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>11 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
