Answer:
Explanation:
Radioactive decay follows the equation:
Ln [A] = -kt + ln [A]₀
Where [A] is amount of isotope after time t: Our incognite,
k is rate constant: ln 2 / Half-life = 0.0231 years⁻¹
t are 60 years
[A]₀ is initial amount of isotope: 1.0g
Replacing:
Ln [A] = -kt + ln [A]₀
Ln [A] = -0.0231 years⁻¹*60 years + ln 1.0g
ln [A] = -1.386
[A] = 0.25g
