Answer:

2 half lives.

Explanation:

Suppose there are 100g of parent isotope at the start.

We want to find how much charge is on the electrons in a nickel coin. follow this method. a nickel coin has a mass of about 5 g.

Lady bird [3.3K]

The mass of a nickel coin is 5 g.
1 mol of Ni weighs 58 g. 1 mol contains 6.022 x 10²³ atoms of Ni.
therefore in 58 g there are 6.022 x 10²³ atoms of Ni
then in 5 g the number of Ni atoms are - 6.022 x 10²³ /58 x 5 = 5.2 x 10²² Ni atoms
Therefore number of Ni atoms are 5.2 x 10²² atoms in a nickel coin
