A sample contains 7.10×104 radioactive nuclei. In a time of 3 minutes, 3.50×103 of the nuclei decay. Evaluate the half life of the sample (in minutes).
A radioactive sample contains two different types of radioactive nuclei: A, with half-life 9.0 days, and B, with half-life 18.0 days. Initially, the decay rate of the A-type nucleus is 256 times that of the B-type nucleus. 1) When will their decay rates be equal?
50% of the nuclei in a radioactive sample decay in one half life. What percent decay in four half lives?
4. The half-life of a sample has been defined as the time it takes for half of a sample to decay. The fifth-life can be defined as the time it takes for one-fifth of a sample to decay. Given these definitions, calculate the fifth-life of a sample that has a half-life of 29 years.

The half-life for the process 238U→206Pb is 4.5×109yr. A mineral sample contains 61.0 mg of 238U and 14.5 mg of 206Pb. What is the age of the mineral? To calculate the age of the mineral, begin by rearranging the first-order relationship between the half-life, t1/2, and the decay constant to solve for the decay constant, k. k=0.693/t1/2 Then, use the following formula to solve for the age of the mineral, t: t=−1klnNtN0 where N0 is the original amount of 238U...
