Question

The half-life of Sodium-24 is 15 hours. If you start with 600 grams of sodium-24 how much would be left after 4 days? Which of the following equations could you use to solve for the amount of grams left after 4 days?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A = A₀ ½^(t / T)

where A is the amount left, A₀ is the original amount, t is time, and T is the half life.

4 days is 96 hours, so the amount left is:

A = 600 ½^(96 / 15)
