Question

. If the half-life of cesium-133 is 30 years, how much of a 600g sample of cesium-133 will be left after

150 years

Answer 1

Caesium (55Cs) has 40 known isotopes, making it, along with barium and mercury, one of the elements with the most isotopes. The atomic masses of these isotopes range from 112 to 151. Only one isotope, 133Cs, is stable. The longest-lived radioisotopes are 135Cs with a half-life of 2.3 million years, ... It constitutes most of the radioactivity still left from the Chernobyl accident ...
