EXAMPLE :
Xenon-140 has a half life of 40 minutes. It takes 40 minutes for the number of undecayed nuclei to decrease to half its original number.
Cobalt-60 Radium-228
Uranium-235
EXAMPLE QUESTIONS
1) Tin-108 has a half life of 10.3 minutes. A radioactive sample contains 72 g of tin -108. Determine the mass of tin 108 that has decayed and that has not decayed after 30.9 minutes. After, 30 minutes, 9 g of tin -108 has not decayed and 63 g of tin-108 has decayed. 2) The radioactive atoms in a substance decay to become stable atoms. It was found that after 136 s, 93.75% of the atoms have decayed. What is the half life of the substance? 34 seconds.
