Question

Wagonium-292 has a half-life of 1 hour. If you started with an 80 gram sample, how much Wagonium-292 will remain after 4 hours? A.) 10g B.) 40g C.) 160g D.) 5G

Answer 1

After 1 hour, 80 g decays to 40 g.

After another hour (total 2 hours), 40 g decays to 20 g.

After another hour (total 3), 20 g decays to 10 g.

After one more hour (total 4), 10 g decays to (D) 5 g.
