Question 764088: The half life of Plutonium-239 is 24,00 years. This is , 1,000 grams of Plutonium-239 will take 24,000 years to decay to 500 grams. How much of the original 1,000 grams of Plutonium 238 will be after 10 years. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Half life = 24,000 years
10 years/24,000 years = 0.000416
500g * 0.000416 = 0.21g
500g - 0.21g
= 499.79g
500g + 499.79g = 999.79g
This is the quantity that will still
remain active after 10 years.
