Complete the table for the radioactive iotope. (Round your anwer to 2 decimal place. Iotope : 239 Pu
1 answer:
If the radio active isotope has the half life of 24100 years, then the initial quantity is 2.16 grams
The half life in years = 24100
Consider the quantity of the radio active isotope remaining
y =
When t = 1000 the y = 1.2
y = C/2 when t = 1599
Substitute the values in the equation
C/2 =
Cancel the C in both side
1/2 =
Here we have to apply ln to eliminate the e terms
ln (1/2) = 24100k
k = ln(1/2) / 24100
k = -2.87× 10^-5
To find the initial value we have to substitute the value of k and y in the equation
1.2 = Ce^{1000 × -2.87× 10^-5}
C = 1.2 / e^(-0.0287)
C = 2.16 gram
Hence, the initial quantity of the radioactive isotope is 2.16 gram

There’s probably an easier way to do it like with the equation to find the area of a trapezoid but i did it this way bc it’s easier for me
i split the trapezoid into a triangle and a square
with the pythagorean theorem i found the missing side length to find the area of the square (length X width)
then found the area of the triangle (base X height divided by 2)
THE ANSWER IS 68.9 CM
