Answer:

225.78 grams

Explanation:

To solve this question, we would be using the formula

P(t) = Po × 2^t/n

Where P(t) = Remaining amount after r hours

Po = Initial amount

t = Time

In the question,

Where P(t) = Remaining amount after r hours = unknown

Po = Initial amount = 537

t = Time = 10 days

P(t) = 537 × 2^(10/)

P(t) = 225.78 grams

Therefore, the amount of iodine-131 left after 10 days = 225.78 grams
