The half-life of nitrogen-13 is approximately 9.97 minutes. How much of a 3 gram sample of nitrogen-13 would remain after 8 minutes? Round to three decimal places
Added by William T.
Step 1
Determine the number of half-lives that have passed in 8 minutes. To do this, divide the time passed (8 minutes) by the half-life (9.97 minutes): 8 minutes / 9.97 minutes = 0.802 Show more…
