The amount of Silicon left after 300 years is 75g
It is given that the initial amount of Si is 100 times decay is 300 years and the half-life of Silicon is 710 years.
The radioactive decay formula is given by,
A = A₀ x 2^(-t/h);
where;
A is the resulting amount after t time, Ao is the initial amt (t=0),t is the time of decay, and h is the half-life of the substance.
On substituting the values from the given we get,
A = 100x2^(-300/710)
A = 100 x 0.746112347
A = 74.6112347 grams left after 300 yrs
Therefore, the number of grams of silicon left after 300 years is 74.6112347g. This value could be rounded off to 75 grams as in the whole number
