Number of atoms, Nt = Noe-(ln2)t/t1/2
So, N15 = (48 * 1032) * e-(ln2 * 15 / 2.5) = 7.5 * 1031 atoms
Decay constant, λ = ln2 / t1/2 = ln2 / 2.5 = 0.28 min-1
Initial activity, Ao = λNo = 0.28 * (7.5 * 1031) = 2.1 * 1031 decays/min

If a radioactive isotope has half-life h, then the number of atoms in a sample is given by a(t)=a-2-/h where ao gives the number of atoms in the sample at time 0. The radio active decay of carbon-14 leads to clever way of determining the age of fossils and remnants of plants and animals. When an organism dies, the radioactive carbon- 14 in it decays, with half of it gone in 5,730 years. a. Suppose a mummified cat has a...
