The half-life of any substance is the amount of time taken for half of the original quantity of the substance present to decay. The half-life of a radioactive substance is characteristic to itself, and it may be millions of years long or it may be just a few seconds.
In order to determine the half-life of a substance, we simply use:
t(1/2) = ln(2) / λ
Where λ is the decay constant for that specific isotope.
There are 137 atoms in this molecule. C55 + H72 = 127. 127 + Mg (one atom of magnesium = 128. 128 + N4 = 132. 132 + O5 = 137.
Here you go:
Continent Polar - Cold and Dry
Maritime Polar - Cold and Humid
Arctic - Extremely Cold and Dry
Maritime Tropical- Warm and Humid

Answer:
320 g
Step-by-step explanation:
The half-life of Co-63 (5.3 yr) is the time it takes for half of it to decay.
After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.
After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.
We can construct a table as follows:
No. of Fraction Mass
half-lives t/yr Remaining Remaining/g
0 0 1
1 5.3 ½
2 10.6 ¼
3 15.9 ⅛ 40.0
4 21.2 ¹/₁₆
We see that 40.0 g remain after three half-lives.
This is one-eighth of the original mass.
The mass of the original sample was 8 × 40 g = 320 g
