The half-life of bismuth-210, 210bi, is 5 days. (a) if a sample has a mass of 160 mg, find the amount remaining after 15 days. mg

solution:

The general form of the equation would be A = P x  (1/2) ^ (t/h) where A = final amount, P = start amount, t = time (here in days) and h = half-life (has to be same units as t)  

a) A = 192 x (1/2) ^ (15/5) = 192 x (1/2) ^3 = 192 x 1/8 = 24 mg

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.
