Answer:
5 mg
Explanation:
If one half life is 4 hours, then 3 half lives is 12 hours.
This means that the sample will decay to 1/8 of its original amount.
So, the answer is 40(1/8) = 5 mg.
Answer: 97
Explanation:
The element Ru is <u>Ruthenium</u> which has <u>44 protons</u>.
In this case, our atom is an isotope with <u>53 neutrons</u>.
With this information, we can use the mass number formula to find this atom's mass number.
mass number = protons + neutrons
mass number = <u>44 protons</u> + <u>53 neutrons</u>
mass number = <u>97</u>
The first option is the correct.
Since we know the mass of one atom of Fe is 56 and that of Cl2 atoms is 71 (one atom has 35.5 mass) hence both of them will be consumed
