(a)
Interpretation:
The grams of the isotope left after
Concept introduction:
The elements whose nucleus decays spontaneously are known as radioactive elements. The decay is accompanied by the emission of alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. All the elements which have an
half life of a radioactive substance is defined as the time taken by half of its atoms to decay.

Answer to Problem 25E
The grams of the isotope left after
Explanation of Solution
The formula to calculate the number of half life,
The time is
The half life is
Substitute the values of time and half life in equation (1).
The formula to calculate amount of sample left after
Where,
•
•
•
The starting amount,
The value of
Substitute the value of
Therefore, the grams of the isotope left after
The grams of the isotope left after
