A half life of 29 years means that after 29 years, only half of this isotope would be left due to radioactive decay. If we start of with 2000g of it and leave it for 116 years, it would undergo 4 "half=lives". 116/29 = 4. So after the first half life, we would have 2000g/2 = 1000g left. After the second, we would have 500g left, after the third, 250g so after 4 half lives or 116 years, there would be 125 g  of Strontium-90 left at the site.

Isotonic, hypertonic and hypotonic cells: describe
olya-2409 [2.1K]
<h3>♫ :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: // Hello There ! //  :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ♫</h3>

➷  An isotonic cell has the same concentration inside the cell as the outside solution. This would mean there is no net movement of water. Isotonic cells are sometimes called 'normal'

Hypertonic cells have a higher water concentration inside the cell than outside the cell. This causes water to move out of the cell and make the cell shrivel.

Hypotonic cells are the opposite of hypertonic cells. They have a lower water concentration inside the cell than outside. This causes water to move into the cell and make the cell bloat.

[Any further queries, feel free to ask]

➶ Good Luck (:
