The half-life of a radioactive kind of strontium is 10 hours. How much will be left after 40 hours, if you start with 80 grams of it?

The amount of strontium that will remain after 40 hours is 5 g

How to determine the number of half-lives

  • Half-life (t½) = 10 hours
  • Time (t) = 40 hours
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 40 / 10

n = 4

How to determine the amount remaining

  • Original amount (N₀) = 80 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 4
  • Amount remaining (N) =?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 80 / 2⁴

N = 80 / 16

N = 5 g
