Mr. Albedo stumbled upon an unknown material in an abandoned laboratory. He believes that this material is radioactive. He brought it to his laboratory at Dragonspine for identification. Then, he obtained a sample weighing 10.5 g. After 6 hours, the weight of the sample decreased to 0.171 g. 1. Using the data gathered by Mr. Albedo, calculate the half-life (in hours) of the radioactive sample. Express answer in 3 SF. 2. From the given list below, determine the possible identity of the unknown sample. Isotope Half-life Ra-224 3.66 days Pb-212 10.6 hours Bi-212 60.6 minutes TI-208 3.05 minutes 3. Mr. Albedo found out that the sample was emitting alpha particles. Write the nuclear reaction involved in this process
