To calculate: Amount of nickel-63 left after given time.
Answer to Problem 16.8APP
Amount of nickel-63 left after 300 years is 1.25 g.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Half-life of isotope nickel-63 =
Amount of sample =
Calculation:
Since the isotope has a half-life of 100 years, half of the sample decays after 100 years.
Sample left after 100 years =
Sample left after 200 years =
Sample left after 300 years =
Conclusion:
Amount of nickel-63 left after 300 years is 1.25 g.
