T is amount after time t
<span>Ao is initial amount </span>
<span>t is time </span>
<span>HL is half life </span>
<span>log (At) = log [ Ao x (1/2)^(t/HL) ] </span>
<span>log (At) = log Ao + log (1/2)^(t/HL) </span>
<span>log (At) = log Ao + (t/HL) x log (1/2) </span>
<span>( log At - log Ao) / log (1/2) = t / HL </span>
<span>log (At/Ao) / log (1/2) = t / HL </span>
<span>HL = t / [( log (At / Ao)) / log (1/2) ] </span>
<span>HL = 14.4 s / [ ( log (12.5 / 50) / log (1/2) ] </span>
<span>HL = 14.4 s / 2 = 7.2 seconds </span>
