Answer:
after 45 days 9 g left
Explanation:
Given data:
Half life Na-24 = 15 days
Mass of sample = 72 g
Mass remain after 45 days = ?
Solution:
Number of half lives passed:
Number of half lives = time elapsed / half life
Number of half lives = 45 days / 15 days
Number of half lives = 3
At time zero total amount = 72 g
After first half life = 72 g/ 2= 36 g
At 2nd half life = 36 g/2 = 18 g
At 3rd half life = 18 g/2 = 9 g
Thus after 45 days 9 g left.
