Answer: After 4710 seconds, 1/8 of the compound will be left
Explanation:
Using the formulae
Nt/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2
Where
N= amount of the compound present at time t
No= amount of compound present at time t=0
t= time taken for N molecules of the compound to remain = 4710 seconds
t1/2 = half-life of compound = 1570 seconds
Plugging in the values, we have
Nt/No = (1/2)^(4710s/1570s)
Nt/No = (1/2)^3
Nt/No= 1/8
Therefore after 4710 seconds, 1/8 molecules of the compound will be left
