6. Radium decomposes at a rate proportional to the amount present. In 100 years, 100 mg
of radium decompose to 96 mg. How many mg will be left after another 100 years? What
is the "half life" (the time required to decompose half the initial amount) of radium?
We have an initial amount of H3N2Cl4 of 72 milligrams, and a half-life of 60 days. Find the decay constant, k, and determine how long it takes for 95% of the material to decay.
