The half life of a substance is 30 days. If there are 4.5 grams to start with, how much will be left after 23 days? Round to the nearest tenth of a gram. Be sure to label your answer.

Important formula:


N_t = N_0 (1/2)^(t)/(t_(1/2))

Here, you are trying to find Nt and you have N0 = 4.5g, t = 23 days, t1/2 = 30 days. Plug the values in and you should get 2.7g left after 23 days.
