The answer depends on 3240 WHAT: seconds, days, years?
One half-life is the time required for half of a substance to decay or transform into another substance. The specific duration of a half-life varies depending on the material or isotope in question; for example, the half-life of carbon-14 is about 5,730 years, while that of iodine-131 is approximately 8 days. Therefore, without specifying a particular isotope, one cannot determine a standard duration for a half-life in days.
1 week = 7 days. You now have all the information required to answer this and similar questions.
96 x 24/20 = 116 for first 4 days and 115 for remaining 16 days
The time required is 24.06 days. The half life of iodine 131 is 8.02 days.
The time required for a 6.95 sample to decay to 0.850 if it has a half-life of 27.8 days is 255 days/ Radioactive decay is based on half-lifes, specifically the reciprocols of powers of 2. The equation for decay is... AN = A0 2(-N/H), where A is activity, N is number of half lives, and H is half life. Calculating for the question at hand... 0.850 = 6.95 2(-N/27.8) 0.122 = 2(-N/27.8) log2(0.122) = -N/27.8 -3.04 = -N/27.8 N = 9.16, or TN = (9.16) (27.8) = 255

Iodine-131 has a half-life of about 8 days.
18 grams are one fourth of the original sample mass of 72 grams. Accordingly, the half life is 6.2/4 = 1.55 days.
The half-life of the radioisotope Bismuth-210 (Bi-210) is approximately 5.01 days. This means that it takes about 5.01 days for half of a sample of Bi-210 to decay into its decay products.
7.64 it is the half life of radon-222 multipled by 2
After 32 days, approximately 5 milligrams of the 80-milligram sample of Iodine-131 would be left. Iodine-131 has a half-life of about 8 days, so after each 8-day period, half of the remaining sample will decay.
half life is 8.1 days, so it takes 8.1 days for half the iodine sample to decay. It takes another 8.1 days for half of the remaining sample (ie. 1/4th of the original sample) to decay. So it takes 16.2 days for 3/4th of the sample to decay.
A radioactive nuclide with a half-life of 8.0252 days will decay to 0.75 of its original size in 3.33 days. AT = A0 2(-T/H) 0.75 = (1) 2(-T/8.0252) log2(0.75) = log2(2(-T/8.0252)) -0.415 = -T/8.0252 T = 3.33
Half life is the time taken for approximately half of the available nuclei in a sample of radioactive material to decay into something else. It's a characteristic of the isotope, for example, the half life of the isotope of iodine, I131 is 8.08 days. Half lives can vary from fractions of a second to thousands of years.
