After 72000 years, the half life would have passed 3 times.

This means that (1/2)^3 = 1/8 of the original sample would remain.

The original sample is 100.0 g, meaning that 1/8 of the sample would be 12.5 g.

So, the answer is D.

If you are given only the mass number of neutrons, how do we find an atomic number?
77julia77 [94]

Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons.

Atomic number is the total number of protons present.

Mass number = protons + neutrons

Atomic number = protons present.

From the above equations we can conclude that,

Atomic number= Mass number- neutrons.

Thus we can find out the atomic number by subtracting the number of neutrons from the mass number.
