0.84 milligrams of a 2. 000 mg sample remain after 6. 55 years, according to radioactive decay.

Given data,

t\frac{1}{2} of Co-60 = 5.20years

amount of sample = 2.000mg initially = 0.002grams

According to radioactive decay,

N_{t} = N_{0}e^{-λt}

(N_{0} - 0.002 )λ = \frac{0.693}{t\frac{1}{2} } = \frac{0.693}{5.20}  = 0.133

According to radioactive decay,

N_{t} = N_{0}e^{-λt}

lnN_{t}  = lnN_{0} - λt

lnN_{t} = ln0.002 - (0.133×6.55)

       = -6.21 - 0.87 = -7.08 = 0.00084g = 0.84mg

Therefore, 0.84 milligrams of a 2. 000 mg sample remain after 6. 55 years.
