Question

You start with 4800 grams uranium - 238. It's radioactive and goes

Answer 1

Answer:

37.5g

Explanation:

The half-life is the time taken for a radioactive substance to decay to half its original composition;

 Original composition here is  = 4800g  of U-238

How many grams remain after 7 half-lives;

 After each life, the uranium reduces by half;

 Amount remaining  = 4800 x $(\frac{1}{2})^7$  

                                  = 37.5g

After 7 half lives, 37.5g of the original sample will remain.
