A sample of Radon-222 has a half-life of 3.82 days. After 11.46 days, there is 5 grams of Radon-222 remaining. How much Radon-222 was in the original sample? 30 grams

2 grams

15 grams

40 grams

40

Explanation:

The formula for radioactive decay is as follows:

Q = Q0 x (e^-rt), in which Q is the remaining mass after decay, Q0 is the original sample mass, r is the constant of decay, and t is the time given to decay.

We first start by finding the constant of decay which is r = ln2/t(1/2), natural log of 2 divided by the half life. (Note that you can similarly find the half life if given the constant in t(1/2) = ln2/r)

1) ln2/3.82
2) r = 0.181452141

Now that we have all our givens necessary, we can apply into the formula:

1) 5 = Q0 x (e^(-0.181452141x11.46))
2) 5 = Q0 x (e^(-2.079441536))
3) 5 = Q0 x 0.125
4) Q0 = 5/0.125
5) Q0 = 40

Hope this helps, brainliest would be appreciated :)

Is a  vector quantity  that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. while this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity. if a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. for certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.
