25. Iodine-131 is a radioactive substance that can be used to treat certain thyroid conditions. It has ahalf-life of 8 days. Your friend with a thyroid condition is given 40 mg of I-131 to drink. Assumingthat all the I-131 stays in her body, how much will remain after 4 half-lives?26. Your mother will soon undergo some medical testing that will require her to swallow a radioactiveisotope as a tracer. She is nervous about having a radioactive substance in her body even though theradiologist told her not to worry, as the isotope has a half-life of only 7 minutes. Explain to her whata half-life is, and the significance of the half-life being 7 minutes.

Q25) Given that: Half life = 8 days Mass of Iodine = 40 mg Remain after 4 half lives = ?
