Question

Iodine-131, a beta emitter, has a half-life of 8 days.How many grams of a 10.0g sample of iodine-131 would remain after 56.0 days?

Answers

k = 0.693/t<sub>1/2</sub>
ln(No/N) = kt
No = 10.0g
N = unknown
k from above
t = 56

Another way to solve this:
10/2<sup>n</sup>
56 days is 7 half lives so
10/2<sup>7</sup> = ?
