Answer :
The amount after 1000 years will be, 5.19 grams.
The amount after 10000 years will be, 0.105 grams.
Step-by-step explanation :
Half-life = 1599 years
First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :
Now we have to calculate the amount after 1000 years.
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time passed by the sample = 1000 years
a = initial amount of the reactant = 8 g
a - x = amount left after decay process = ?
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
Thus, the amount after 1000 years will be, 5.19 grams.
