You are examining decomposition of corn leaves following the growing season on a farm. To do this, you place 33 g of corn leaves in a mesh bag and measure decomposition over time. In a literature search, you find that the decay constant of corn leaves is typically 0.04. Given this, use the equation mt =moe−kt to predict the leaf mass remaining in the bag after 30 days.

a. 0.009 g
b. 23.3 g
c. 9.94 g
d. 1.7 g
e. 14.8 g
