Question
Chapter 8, Problem 4SC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of atoms of the element X left after 1.0 hour from the given sample is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The half-life of a substance is the numerical value in which the amount of the given radioactive substance is reduced to half of the initial value. The half-life for a given substance is represented by t1/2.
After each half-life period, the amount of the substance is reduced to half of the initial value.
One hour is equal to 60 minutes.
