You have 54,544 grams of a radioactive kind of iodine. How much will be left after 106 minutes if its half-life is 53 minutes?

Answer :

After 106 minutes, the amount of the iodine left is:

R = 54,544g/4 = 13,636 grams

How much will be left after 106 minutes if its half-life is 53 minutes?

For a radioactive element, the half-life is the time in which the initial amount of the element is reduced to its half.

Here the half-life is 53 minutes, then 106 minutes is equivalent to two half-lifes.

This means that after that time, the amount of the iodine is reduced to its half two times (so its reduced to a fourth of the initial amount).

Here the initial amount is 54,544 grams, so after 106 minutes we will have:

R = 54,544g/4 = 13,636 grams
