A radioactive element has a half-life of 1,000 years. If a sample of this element begins with a mass of 20 grams, how long would
Fynjy0 [20]

A radioactive element with a half-life of 1,000 years, and starting mass of 20 grams, will need 2,000 years to decrease to 5 grams.

Explanation:

The radioactive elements all have a specific half-life. Each element's half-life is well known, and they are used by scientists of numerous fields as they are excellent for determining the age of a particular item, be it or organic or non-organic nature. In this case, we have a radioactive element with a half-life of 1,000 years, and starting mass of 20 grams.

The half-life basically means that half of the mass of an element is lost during a particular period of time. For the element in question we need to find out how much time will be needed for it to decrease to 5 grams. In order to get to the result, we just need to add 1,000 years on every decrease of half of the mass:

20/2 = 10

10/2 = 5

So in 1,000 years, the element in question will decrease to 10 grams, and in further 1,000 years (2,000 cumulatively) it will decrease to 5 grams.
