What is the % of parent atoms in a rock after three half-lives?
Ans- 12.5% parent will remain after 3rd half-life
Originally the parent will be 100% and daughter 0%.
After 1st half-life parent and daughter both becomes 50%.
After 2nd half-life parent becomes 25% and daughter 75%.
After 3rd half-life parent becomes 12.5% and daughter 87.5%.
A) According to the data, what are the approximate half-lives of the hypothetical elements A, B, C, and D? B) Which of the hypothetical substances would be the most harmful to living organisms? Why? C) What part of an original isotope's number of atoms remains after two half-lives? D) After three half-lives of an isotope, 1 billion (one-eighth) of the original isotope's atoms still remain in a certain amount of this element. How many atoms of the daughter product would...

16. What will he the level of activity (in terms of X) after two half lives have elapsed? 17. What would the activity of a the above sample be if we tripled its size? 18. If the initial activity of 0.365 grams of the above sample is Y Bq, what would the activity be if we increased the initial sample to 0.950 grams? The decay curve of a radioactive nuclide 1000 sample is shown. Its initial activity is measured to...
a rock is going to be analyzed for its radioactive isotope contents, x and y. X is the parent and Y is the daughter isotope. Assume that the half-life of the radioactive isotopes is 5,730 years. Based on this information, answer the following two questions How much of the parent X and how much of the daughter Y will be present after two half-lives?
