A new radioactive element is discovered Of a 54 gram sample
A new radioactive element is discovered. Of a 54 gram sample, 35.4 grams remain after 6 seconds. Find the half-life of the element. Show all work, like if there\'s a formula can you write out all the steps so I can see how to do this because I NEED to know how to do this.
Solution
N(t) =N(0)e-t
N(0) = 54
N(t) = 35.4
T = 6 SEC
=0.07
T(1/2) = ln 2/ = 9.848 SEC
