Question 1058053: A certain isotope of silver, 110Ag decays exponentially at a rate of 2.8% per second. After 50.0 seconds, what percent of the original isotope remains? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A certain isotope of silver, 110Ag decays exponentially at a rate of 2.8% per second. After 50.0 seconds, what percent of the original isotope remains?
-----------
After each second, 97.2% remains = 0.972*amount
----
0.972^50 =~ 0.242 = 24.2%
