Answer:
The final mass of sample is 1.3 g.
Explanation:
Given data:
Half life of H-3 = 12.32 years
Amount left for 15.0 years = 3.02 g
Final amount = ?
Solution:
First all we will calculate the decay constant.
t₁/₂ = ln² /k
t₁/₂ =12.32 years
12.32 y = ln² /k
k = ln²/12.32 y
k = 0.05626 y⁻¹
Now we will find the original amount:
ln (A°/A) = Kt
ln (3.02 g/ A) = 0.05626 y⁻¹ × 15.0 y
ln (3.02 g/ A) = 0.8439
3.02 g/ A = e⁰°⁸⁴³⁹
3.02 g/ A = 2.33
A = 3.02 g/ 2.33
A = 1.3 g
The final mass of sample is 1.3 g.
