Answer:
4.375 milligram
Explanation:
Applying,
A = A'(2ᵃ/ⁿ)............. Equation 1
Where A = original amount of actinium-228, A' = amount of actinium-228 left after decay, a = Total time, n = half life
make A' the subject of the equation
A' = A/(2ᵃ/ⁿ)........... Equation 2
From the question,
Given: A = 70 milligram, a = 24.52 hours, n = 6.13 hours
Substitute these values into equation 2
A' = 70/(2²⁴°⁵²/⁶°¹³)
A' = 70/(2⁴)
A' = 70/16
A' = 4.375 milligram
Answer:
a. 41 mg equals 0.041 grams.
b. 41 mg equals 0.0014462 ounces
c. 41 mg equals 9.039*10⁻⁵ pounds
Explanation:
You know that a slice of Swiss cheese contains 41 mg of sodium.
a. What is this mass in grams?
Knowing that 1 mg = 10⁻³ g, you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mg equals 10⁻³ g or 0.001 grams, 41 mg will be equivalent to how much mass in g?

mass= 0.041 grams
<u><em>
41 mg equals 0.041 grams.</em></u>
b. What is this mass in ounces?
Knowing that 1 mg = 3.5274 * 10⁻⁵ ounces, you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mg equals 3.5274 * 10⁻⁵ ounces, 41 mg will be equivalent to how much mass in ounces?

mass= 1.4462*10 ⁻³ ounces= 0.0014462 ounces
<u><em>41 mg equals 0.0014462 ounces</em></u>
c. What is this mass in pounds?
Knowing that 1 mg = 2.20462 * 10⁻⁶ pounds, you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mg equals 2.20462 * 10⁻⁶ pounds, 41 mg will be equivalent to how much mass in pounds?

mass= 9.039*10⁻⁵ pounds
<u><em>41 mg equals 9.039*10⁻⁵ pounds</em></u>
