Answer:
5.313mg
Step-by-step explanation:
The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a 170-mg sample. What is the rate of decay after 150 years? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Half life formula
= N(t) = No(1/2)^t/t½
N(t) = Amount after t years
No = Initial amount
t = time
t½ = half life
N(t) = 170 (1/2) ^150/30
N(t) = 170 × (1/2)^5
N(t) = 5.3125mg
Approximately the quantity left after t years = 5.313mg
