What is the significance of a half life of a radioisotope?
It tells what fraction of a radioactive sample remains after a certain length of time.
What fraction of a radioactive sample remains after three half - life?
It is 1/8 .
What fraction of a radioactive sample remains after three half-lives?
Not sure what you mean by "had-lives". After 3 half lives, approx 1/8 would remain.
After three half-lives what fraction of a radioactive sample remains?
1/8 of the original amount remains.
What fraction of a radium sample will remain after 3240?
The answer depends on 3240 WHAT: seconds, days, years?
Does the size of a radioactive sample affect half-life?
No, the size of a radioactive sample does not affect its half-life. The half-life is a characteristic property of a radioactive isotope, defined as the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay. This property is intrinsic to the isotope itself and remains constant regardless of the amount of material present. Thus, whether you have a small or large sample, the half-life will remain the same.
How much of an 800-gram sample of potassium-40 will remain after 3.9109 years of radioactive decay?
100 grams
Why After three half-lives what fraction of a radioactive sample remains?
After three half-lives, only 1/8 (or 12.5%) of the original radioactive sample remains. This is because each half-life reduces the amount of radioactive material by half, so after three half-lives, you would have (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8 of the original sample remaining.
What percentage of a radioactive sample remains after 5 half-lives?
After 5 half-lives, 3.125% (or 1/2^5) of a radioactive sample remains. Each half-life reduces the sample by half, so after 5 half-lives, there is only a small fraction of the original sample remaining.
What fraction of a radioactive sample decays after three half lives?
If I take a radioactive sample of 400 moles of an unknown substance and let it decay to the point of three half-lives I would have 50 moles left of the sample. 1/2 of what is left will decay in the next half-life. At the end of that half-life I will have 25 moles left of the unknown substance or 4/25.
How much cesium would remain from a 10g sample after 4 years?
I suppose that you think to the radioactive isotope Cs-17; After 4 years remain 9,122 g.
What happens to a radioactive material over time?
Radioactive materials decay over time, emitting radiation in the form of alpha, beta, or gamma particles. As the material decays, it transforms into isotopes of other elements until it reaches a stable state. The rate of decay is measured by the material's half-life, which determines how long it takes for half of the radioactive sample to decay.
