Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
The Half-life of =
is less than that of
Although we are not given any value about the present weight of .
So, consider the present weight in the percentage of to be y%
Then, the time elapsed to get the present weight of =
Therefore;
here;
= Number of radioactive atoms relating to the weight of y of
Thus:
--- (1)
However, Suppose the time elapsed from the initial stage to arrive at the weight of the percentage of to be =
Then:
---- (2)
here;
= Number of radioactive atoms of
relating to 3.0 a/o weight
Now, equating equation (1) and (2) together, we have:
replacing the half-life of =
( since
)
∴
The time elapsed signifies how long the isotopic abundance of 235U equal to 3.0 a/o
Thus, The time elapsed is
