Well...if you drop a 0 for ten percent that would be 150. So half of that would be 5 percent which is 75.
It is a quarter of a percent
One percent of 80, 000 would be 8000. One half of 8000 is 4000. Therefore, the correct answer of this question is 4ooo.
1.5%one and a half percent = 11/2% or 1.5%
One and a half percent
After 5 half-lives, 3.125% of the original carbon-14 would remain. Each half-life reduces the amount by half, so after 5 half-lives, it would be reduced by a factor of 2^5 = 32.
A half-life is the amount of time it takes for half of the material to decay. So if you started with 80g After 1 half-life you would have 40 g After 2 half-lives you would have 20 g After three half-lives you would have 10 g
Since the element has a half-life of 1000 years, it will take two half-lives for the mass to decrease to 5 grams from 20 grams. Two half-lives equal 2000 years, so you would have to wait 2000 years for the mass to decrease to 5 grams.
The correct answer is: Half-lives are not affected by temperature.
1/16 of the original sample of any unstable element remains after 4 half lives.
Half life of an element can't be changed.. It is a characteristic of a radioactive element which is independent of chemical and physical conditions.. Half life is that time in which half of radioactive sample( i.e., a radioactive element) decomposes. So no matter what amount you take half life of an element remains same.
25%
It would take approximately 300 years for 99.9% of Cs to decay. This is calculated by dividing the half-life by the natural log of 2, which results in approximately 10 half-lives for 99.9% decay.
To determine how many half-lives have passed, you would need to divide the total time passed by the half-life of the substance. The result would give you the number of half-lives that have occurred.
After seven half lives, approximately 0.78125% (1/2^7) of the original radioactive element will remain. This can be calculated by repeatedly halving the remaining amount after each half life.
After three half-lives, 12.5% of the radioactive isotope is remaining. This is because each half-life reduces the amount of radioactive material by half.
After 4 half-lives (2,000,000 years), only 1/16th (1/2^4) of the original amount of the element will remain. Therefore, after 4 half-lives, 20 grams * 1/16 = 1.25 grams of the element will be left.
