There is a sample containing 16g of radioactive material, the half-life of which is 2 days. What is the amount of sample left after 32 days:

Answer»

LESS than 1 mg
1g
4g
8g

Solution :`m/m_(0)=(1/2)^(t/T)`
T=2 days and t=32 days
`m/m_(0)=[1/2]^((32)/(2)) =[1/2]^(16)`
`m=m_(0) [1/2]^(16)=16 xx 1/(2^(16))=(1)/(4096)g`
`approx 0.24 mg LT 1 mg`
