Nitrogen-13 decays to Carbon-13 with a half-life of 10.0 minutes. Assume that you are given a starting mass of 2.0 grams of Nitrogen-13. How many grams of Nitrogen-13 will remain after 15 minutes?

Nitrogen-13 $\left(^{13}_{7} \mathbf{N}\right)$ is a radionuclide that decays by positron emission $(^{0}_{+1} \mathrm{e})$to carbon-13 $\left(_{6}^{13} C\right)$ with a half-life very close to 10 minutes. If we begin with a sample containing 100 micrograms of nitrogen-13, how much N-13 will remain after a period of two half-lives?
