Well, I'll answer this problem:
<span>mercury-197 has a half life of about 64 hours. After 288 hours about how many miligrams of a 750mg sample

http://www.1728.org/halflife.htm
Ending Amount = Beginning amount / 2^n
where "n" is the number of half-lives (elapsed time / half-life)
</span>"n" =288 / 64 = 4.5
<span>Ending Amount = 750 mg / 2^4.5
</span>Ending Amount = 750 mg / <span><span>22.627416998
