Technetium-104 has a half-life of 18.0 minutes. How much of a 165.0 g sample remains after 36.0 minutes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

41.25g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Half-life of Technetium - 104  = 18minutes

Mass = 165g

Unknown:

Mass of sample remaining after 36minutes = ?

Solution:

The half-life of a radioactive element is the time taken for half of the element to decay;

Now;

                Start           First half life              Second half-life

Time          0                      18min                        36min

 Mass       165g                 82.5g                        41.25g
