The amount remaining at the end of 5 half-lives is 7.81×10¹³ g

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Half-life (t½) = 5730 years
  • Original amount (N₀) = 2.5×10¹⁵ g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 5
  • Amount remaining (N) =?

The amount remaining can be obtained as follow:

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2⁵ × 2.5×10¹⁵

N = 1/32 × 2.5×10¹⁵

N = 0.03125 × 2.5×10¹⁵

N = 7.81×10¹³ g

Therefore, the amount remaining after 5 half-lives is 7.81×10¹³ g
