The amount of a sample remaining after t days is given by the equation , where A is the initial amount of the sample and h is the half-life, in days, of the substance. A scientist has a 10-mg sample of a radioactive isotope. The isotope has a half-life of 8 days. After 16 days, how much of the radioactive isotope remains? 1.2.0 mg2.2.5 mg 3.5.7 mg 4.7.1 mg

Answer:

2.5 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

A=Initial amount=10 mg

Half life,h=8 days

We have to find the mass of radioactive isotope remains after 16 days.

t=16 days

We know that the amount of radioactive isotope after t days is given by

[tex]P(t)=A(1\frac{1}{2}^{\frac{t}{h})[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]P(t)=10(\frac{1}{2}^{\frac{16}{8}})[/tex]

[tex]P(t)=10\times (\frac{1}{2})^2[/tex]

[tex]P(t)=2.5 mg[/tex]
