A.) half - life of a radioactive substance is defined as the time during which concentration of the substance becomes half the initial value.

Answer is: the percent purity of the sodium bicarbonate is 56.83 %.
1. Chemical reaction: 2NaHCO₃ + H₂SO₄ → 2CO₂ + 2H₂O + Na₂SO₄.
2. m(NaHCO₃) = 3.50 g
n(NaHCO₃) = m(NaHCO₃) ÷ M(NaHCO₃).
n(NaHCO₃) = 3.50 g ÷ 84 g/mol.
n(NaHCO₃) = 0.042 mol.
3. From chemical reaction: n(NaHCO₃) : n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.
n(CO₂) = 0.042 mol.
m(CO₂) = 0.042 mol · 44 g/mol.
m(CO₂) = 1.83 g.
4. the percent purity = 1.04 g/1.83 g ·100%.
the percent purity = 56.8 %.
It is c: a conductor that operates only at low temperatures
