Question
Chapter 17, Problem 71E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The time required for the decay of iodine-131 is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
The half-life of a substance is the numerical value in which the given radioactive substance is assumed to be reduced to half of its initial number.
In case, the decay of a radioactive substance is exponential, it will remain constant for the lifetime of the substance.
After each half-life period, the amount of the substance is reduced to half of the initial number.
