Answer:

C-14

Explanation:

Carbon-14 is a naturally occurring isotope of carbon.

It is present in all living organism.

When a living organism dies or fossilized, the radioactive carbon-14 undergoes disintegration.

If we can measure the amount of Carbon-14 left in a fossil we can determine the age of the dead organism.

This is known as carbon dating.

The half-life of tritium (H-3) is 12.3 years. If 48.0mg of tritium is released from a nuclear power plant during the course of a
Rudiy27

Answer:

The amount left after 49.2 years is 3mg.

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of tritium = 12.3 years

Total mass pf tritium = 48.0 mg

Mass remain after 49.2 years = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives.

Number of half lives = T elapsed/ half life

Number of half lives =  49.2 years /12.3 years

Number of half lives =  4

Now we will calculate the amount left after 49.2 years.

At time zero 48.0 mg

At first half life = 48.0mg/2 = 24 mg

At second half life = 24mg/2 = 12 mg

At 3rd half life = 12 mg/2 = 6 mg

At 4th half life =  6mg/2 = 3mg

The amount left after 49.2 years is 3mg.
