Show your work on all math questions! 1. You are given a 50.00-gram sample of an unknown isotope at 3:00 PM on Friday. When you return to the lab at 7:00 Monday morning, you discover that the sample contains 8.734 grams of a new stable element along with the remains of the original isotope. If your sample was kept in a sealed vacuum container, what is the half-life of the unknown isotope?
