So half life is the time taken for a sample to decay to half its original mass, its a constant and applies to any original mass, it could be 5g or 1kg, it will take the same amount of time for the original mass to half. In this case the half life is 3 days.
After 3 days the sample will be at half its original mass, now 50g.
Now we can treat the 50g as if its a new sample. After another 3 days (6 days in total) there will be half of 50g left, = 25g.
The percentage yield of the new production technique is 82.8%
<h3>What is the percentage yield?</h3>
Production is the procedure by which finished products are obtained form the raw materials. The production process involves the passing of raw materials through a certain procedure that involves the use of certain machines and equipment to give us the required products.
We are told in the question that there are three shifts;
Shift 1 produces 4562 grams
Shift 2 produces 5783 grams
Shift 3 produces 5247 grams
Average production from the three shifts = 4562 grams + 5783 grams + 5247 grams/3 = 5197 grams
The theoretical average yield is = 7000 grams + 7000 grams + 7000 grams/3 = 7000 grams
Now the percentage yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield * 100/1
percentage yield = 5197 grams/7000 grams * 100/1
percentage yield = 82.8%
