Expert's answer
We'll use the next formula:
N(t) = N0/2^(t/T),
where N0 is initial quantity of a radioactive isotope, T - half-life period. So, there remains
N(29) = 15/2^(29/6) ≈ 0.526 milligrams
of radioactive isotope after 29 hours.
N(t) = N0/2^(t/T),
where N0 is initial quantity of a radioactive isotope, T - half-life period. So, there remains
N(29) = 15/2^(29/6) ≈ 0.526 milligrams
of radioactive isotope after 29 hours.
