If a container of radioactive isotope has a half-life of 10 years, how many years will...
Assume that a hypothetical radioactive isotope has a half-life of 15 years. A 100.0-mCi sample of this radioactive isotope is deposited in a lead container. How long it will take until the activity of this sample is reduced to 1.00 mCi?
Part A: Tritium is a radioactive isotope of the element hydrogen. Tritium has a half-life of 12.5 years. How many years would it take until only 3.22% of a sample remain? Answer should be in years. Part B: Radioactive Carbon-11 has a half life of only 20.3 minutes and an atomic mass number of 11 u. Calculate the activity of 3.58 g of Carbon-11. Answer should be in Bq.
The radioactive isotope, Fr - 223, has a half-life of 22 minutes. How many minutes will it take for an original sample to decay to 12.5% of its original amount? Express your answer in minutes. Enter only the numeric value of the answer without the units.
The half-life of a radioactive isotope is 220 d. How many days would it take for the decay rate of a sample of this isotope to fall to 0.47 of its initial rate?
14C is a radioactive isotope with a half life of 5.73x10^3 years. Radioactive decay is first order process and the amount of 14C present in an object can be used to determine its age. How long does it take for for 90 % of the 14C in a sample to decompose?
Carbon 14, (14^, 6 C ) is a radioactive isotope of carbon that has a half-life of 5,730 years. If an initial sample contained 1,000 14C nuclei, how many would still be around after 22,920 years?
The radioactive isotope Cs-137 has a half-life of 30 years. Starting with 1.0 mg of Cs, how much would remain after 90 years?
4. The radioactive isotope 55Fe has a half-life of 2.73 years. (a) What is the rate constant for this first-order reaction? (b)What fraction of the isotope remains after 1 years? Assume 3 significant figures in your calculations
If the half-life of a radioactive isotope is 32 days, how many half-lives must pass before a 3000mg sample is less than 0.03g? 05 O 2 07 More information is needed. 9
The radioactive isotope carbon-14 is used for radiocarbon dating. The half-life of carbon-14 is years. A wooden artifact in a museum has a count that is times that found in living organisms. Estimate the age of the artifact. The radioactive isotope carbon-14 1s used for radiocarbon dating.
