Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

50÷3=16R2

Second largest multiple of 3 that is smaller than 50=45

45÷3=15 groups of 3 people each

50-45=5

=1 group of 5 people

Greatest possible number of groups=15+1

=16

Thorium -228 is a radioactive substance that decays 50% every 1.9 years. How much of a 50 gram sample will exist after 22.8 year

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

$A=0.0122\ gr$

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential decrease formula that we must use is:

$A=A_0e^ {-kt}$

Where A is the amount of thorium as a function of time

$A_0$ is the initial amount and k is the decrease rate

We know that initially there are 50 gr and that you decay 50% every 1.9 years.

So

$A=A_0*0.5=50*0.5 = 25\\\\t=1.9$

$25=50e^ {-k(1.9)}$

We solve the equation for k

$0.5=e^ {-k(1.9)}$

$ln(0.5)=ln(e^ {-k(1.9)})$

$ln(0.5)=-k(1.9)$

$-1.9k=ln(0.5)$

$k=-\frac{ln(0.5)}{1.9}\\\\k=0.3648$

After 22.8 years the amount of thorium that exists is:

$A=50e^ {-0.3648(22.8)}$

$A=0.0122\ gr$
