A 50.0 mg sample of iodine-131 was placed in a container 32.4 days ago. if its half-life is 8.1 days, how many milligrams of iod
sertanlavr [38]

3.124mg of I-131 is present after 32.4 days.

The 131 I isotope emits radiation and particles and has an 8-day half-life. Orally administered, it concentrates in the thyroid, where the thyroid gland is destroyed by the particles.

What is Half life?

The time required for half of something to undergo a process: such as. a : the time required for half of the atoms of a radioactive substance to become disintegrated.

Half of the iodine-131 will still be present after 8.1 days.

The amount of iodine-131 will again be halved after 8.1 additional days, for a total of 8.1+8.1=16.2 days, reaching (1/2)(1/2)=1/4 of the initial amount.

The quantity of iodine-131 will again be halved after 8.1 more days, for a total of 16.2+8.1+8.1=32.4 days, to (1/4)(1/2)(1/2)=1/16 of the initial quantity.

If the original dose of iodine-131 was 50mg, the residual dose will be (50mg)*(1/16)=3.124mg after 32.4 days.
