Question 1187707: The half-life of the radioactive element unobtanium -47 is 10 seconds. If 32 grams of -47 are initially present, how many grams are present after 10 seconds? 20 seconds? 30 seconds? 40 seconds? 50 seconds? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The half-life of the radioactive element unobtanium -47 is 10 seconds. If 32 grams of -47 are initially present,
how many grams are present after 10 seconds?
32*1/2
---
20 seconds?
32*(1/2)^2
---
30 seconds?
32*(1/2)^3
---
40 seconds?
32*(1/2)^4
---
50 seconds?
32*(1/2)^5
==================
Do you see a pattern?
