Question

Half life of a given sample of radium is 22 years the sample will reduce to 25% of its original value after

Answer 1

Answer:

44 years

Explanation:

Use half life equation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

where A is the final amount,

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is time,

and T is the half life.

0.25 A₀ = A₀ (½)^(t / 22)

0.25 = (½)^(t / 22)

t / 22 = 2

t = 44
