Answer:

4860 years

Explanation:

From

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

Where:

No= mass as time t=0

N= mass at time t

t= time

t1/2= half life

0.125/1 = (1/2)^t/1620

1/8 = (1/2)^t/1620

(1/2)^3= (1/2)^t/1620

3= t/1620

t= 3×1620

t= 4860 years

We can calculate years by using the half-life equation. It is expressed as:

A = Ao e^-kt

<span>where A is the amount left at t years, Ao is the initial concentration, and k is a constant.

</span>From the half-life data, we can calculate for k.

1/2(Ao) = Ao e^-k(1620)
<span>k = 4.28 x 10^-4
</span>
0.125 = 1 e^-<span>4.28 x 10^-4 (</span>t)
t = 4259 years

If the half-life of a radioisotope is 10,000 years, the amount remaining after 20,000 years is
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Considering the half-life of 10,000 years, after 20,000 years we will have a fourth of the remaining amount.

Explanation:

The half-time is the time a radioisotope takes to decay and lose half of its mass. Therefore, we can make the following scheme to know the amount remaining after a period of time:

Time_________________ Amount

t=0_____________________x

t=10,000 years____________x/2

t=20,000 years___________x/4

During the first 10,000 years the radioisotope lost half of its mass. After 10,000 years more (which means 2 half-lives), the remaining amount also lost half of its mass. Therefore, after 20,000 years, the we will have a fourth of the initial amount.
