The amount of a sample remaining after t days is given by the equation p(1) - al2where a is the initial amount of
the sample and h is the half-life, in days, of the substance. a sample contains 60% of its original amount of fermium-
257. the half-life of fermium-257 is about 100 days. about how old is the sample?
52 days
60 days
74 days
136 days

Respuesta :

The amount of a sample remaining after t days is given by the equation p(1) - al2 is: 74 days.

Sample  remaining after t days

Using this formula

P(t)=A×(1/2)^t/h

Let plug in the formula

0.6x=x ×(1/2)^t/h

0.6=(1/2)^t/100

Hence:

Log0.6=Log(1/2)^t/100

Log 0.6=t/100× log0.5

Log 0.6/Log0.5×100=t

-0.2218487/-0.30102999×100=t

0.736×100=t

t=73.6

t=74 days (Approximately)

The amount of a sample remaining after t days is: 74 days.
