Assuming a half-life of 1599 years, how many years will be needed for the decay of 16/15 of a given amount of radium-226?
1 Answer
Explanation:
I'm assuming that you meant
Using the half-life equation,
[A_0] is the initial amount of substance
lambda is the decay constant,lambda=(ln2)/t_(1/2) , wheret_(1/2) is the half-life of the substance
t is the time in years
