Radioactive waste is difficult to dispose of due to the long time periods needed before the radiation effectively disappears. The US protocol is to store the waste for 10 half-lives of the material after which the waste is no longer considered radioactive. After this time, very little of the original chemical remains. Assume you conducted an experiment with 1.00 g of carbon-14 that has a half-life of 5730 years. How much radioactive carbon-14 will remain when your waste is considered not radioactive? Report the answer in milligrams.
