Answer:

Half of the Moon's surface is always illuminated by direct sunlight, except during lunar eclipses when Earth casts its shadow on the Moon. Just how much of that light we can see from Earth varies every day, and we refer to this as a Moon phase.

Iron-55 has a half-life of 3 years. How much of a 40 gram sample will remain after 12 years? A. 0 grams B. 4 grams C. 2.5 grams
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf C. \ 2.5 \ grams }}

Explanation:

We are asked to find how much of a 40 gram sample remains after 12 years.

Iron-55 has a half-life of 3 years. Therefore, after 12 years, 4 half-lives have been completed.

  • 12 years/3 years = 4 half-lives

Every time a half-life is completed, half of the sample's mass decays. Remember we start with a 40 gram sample.

  • 1 half- life: 40 g / 2 = 20 g
  • 2 half-lives: 20 g / 2= 10 g
  • 3 half-lives: 10 g / 2 = 5 g
  • 4 half-lives: 5 g / 2 = 2.5 g

There is also a formula that can be used to solve this problem.

A= A_o(\frac {1}{2})^{\frac{t}{hl}

Where A₀ is the initial amount, t is the time, and hl is the half-life.

We know 40 grams is the inital amount, 12 years is the time, and 3 years is the halflife.

  • A₀= 40 g
  • t= 12
  • hl= 3

A= 40 \ g (\frac{1}{2})^\frac{12}{3}

A= 40 \ g (\frac{1}{2})^4

A= 40 \ g * 0.0625

\bold {A= 2.5 \ g}

After 12 years, <u>2.5 grams </u> of Iron-55 will remain.
