The amount of strontium that will remain after 40 hours is 5 g

How to determine the number of half-lives

  • Half-life (t½) = 10 hours
  • Time (t) = 40 hours
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 40 / 10

n = 4

How to determine the amount remaining

  • Original amount (N₀) = 80 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 4
  • Amount remaining (N) =?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 80 / 2⁴

N = 80 / 16

N = 5 g
