Question

Subtitle is the half-life of an element is 10 years how many half-lives will it take before only about 6% of the original sample remains

Answer 1

We can solve this problem by using the equation
as shown: A=Aoe^-(ln2/t)T where A is the final amount (0.06 gram), Ao is
the initial amount (1g *assumed), t is the half-life (10 years ) and lastly T
time elapsed (required). Plug in the values in the equation and you should
get 40.5 years and this is approximately 4 half-lives.
