10 grams Vanadium will be left after 48 days
Further explanation:
Half-life is the time after which the chemical is reduced to half.
The reaming mass after half life is given by:
The formula for calculating the remaining mass after given time period is:
Here n is the number of half lives passed
Now,
Given
Mass=80 grams
Time= 48 days
Half-life = 16 days
The number of half lives will be:
Putting the values of n and mass in the formula
10 grams Vanadium will be left after 48 days
Keywords: Half-life, radioactive
