A radioactive sample has an activity R. For each of the following changes, indicate whether the activity would increase, decrease, or remain unchanged. HINT (a) The number of radioactive nuclei in the sample is doubled. The activity would increase. The activity would decrease. The activity would remain unchanged.
(b) The half-life of the radioactive nuclei is doubled. The activity would increase. The activity would decrease. The activity would remain unchanged.
(c) The decay constant is doubled. The activity would increase. The activity would decrease. The activity would remain unchanged.
(d) A time period equal to two half-lives is allowed to elapse. The activity would increase. The activity would decrease. The activity would remain unchanged.

Electroplating is a way to coat a complex metal object with a very thin (and hence inexpensive) layer of a precious metal, such as silver or gold. in essence the metal object is made the cathode of an electrolytic cell in which the precious metal cations are dissolved in aqueous solution. suppose a current of 480.ma is passed through an electroplating cell with an aqueous solution of agno3 in the cathode compartment for 46.0 seconds. calculate the mass of pure silver deposited on a metal object made into the cathode of the cell. round your answer to 3 significant digits. also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol. ×10μ
