Question

How much of 1.0 g would be left after 3 half lives​

Answer 1

0.125 g

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Original amount (N₀) = 1 g

Number of half-lives (n) = 3

Amount remaining (N) =?

We can obtain the amount of the substance remaining by using the following formula:

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2³ × 1

N = ⅛ × 1

N = 0.125 × 1

N = 0.125 g

Thus, 0.125 g of the substance will remain after 3 half-lives.
