Half-Life from Graph Determine the half-life of the isotope shown below. Be as accurate as possible.
Madhu K.
The graph below shows activity vs time for a radioactive isotope. In this case, the activity is given as a percentage of the initial count rate (decays per time) at t = 0. (a) Estimate the half-life of this isotope in units of days. (b) Use your value of half-life to calculate the time constant.

A graph titled half-life graph of a radioactive isotope is shown with mass remaining on the y axis from 0 to 60 grams and time on the x axis from 0 to 6 minutes. A curve connects the points 0, 50 and 1, 25 and 2, 12.5 and 3, 6.25 and 4, 3.125 and 5, 1.5625. What is the mass of the radioactive isotope remaining at 2.0 minutes? A. 25.0 mg B. 12.5 mg C. 6.25 mg D. 3.13 mg
