Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As an example, iodine-131 is a radioisotope with a half-life of 8 days. It decays by beta particle emission into xenon-131. After eight days have passed, half of the atoms of any sample of iodine-131 will have decayed, and the sample will now be 50% iodine-131 and 50% xenon-131.
50 grams to 25 grams is one half-life. 25 grams to 12.5 grams is another half-life. So, for 50 grams to decay to 12.5 grams, two half-lives, which would take 36 days total, would need to pass. This means each half-life for element X is 18 days.
Answer:
B. 90 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
19 pounds would be too light, 900 pounds would be too heavy, and 9 tons is equal to 18,000 pounds which is wayy too heavy.
Hope this helps!
I would assume that you convert 2.5 ounces into punds which would make it 0.15 lbs.
