Explanation:
Given :
Mass of a bar of lead = 115.2 g
Initial water level = 25 mL
Final water level = 35.5 mL
Difference in the water level = 35.5 - 25
= 10.5 mL
=
We know that when a body is submerged in water, it displaces its own volume of water.
Therefore, the volume of the lead bar = volume of the water displaced = 10.5 mL =
We know that mathematically, density is the ratio of mass of body to its volume.
Density of the lead bar is given by :
=
Half life is the time that it takes for half of the original value of some amount of a radioactive element to decay.
We have the following equation representing the half-life decay:
A is the resulting amount after t time
Ao is the initial amount = 50 mg
t= Elapsed time
t half is the half-life of the substance = 14.3 days
We replace the know values into the equation to have an exponential decay function for a 50mg sample
That would be the answer for a)
To know the P-32 remaining after 84 days we have to replace this value in the equation:
So, after 84 days the P-32 remaining will be 0.85 mg
