ok hi guys i need help with another one asap so how much of a radioactive kind of tellurium will be left after 50 minutes if the half life is 25 min and you start with 88 grams ? Please explain how you arrived at answer then i can mark you as brainliest anyways so far I put 88(1/2) i have no idea what to do next

Respuesta :

I'm not a mathor science genius but ill give it my best shot. So if there is 50 min total an the hald life occurs every 25 min, that would mean there would be 2 half life occurences. So wouldn't it be 88(1/2)(1/2)?

We went through this all last night, and you wrote an equation that was almost perfect. The correct equation is: Amount left = (original amount) times (1/2)^(number of half-lifes). Remember ?
