What Is The Age Of The Wine with Tritium?

A bottle of wine has 10^6 T/H atoms. t=1/2 = 12.26 years A0e^-kt


How many years would it take for 3.0 kg tritium to decay to 0.75 kg tritium?

In ordinary water, exactly 0 atoms as Tritium decays too rapidly (halflife 12.26 years) for any that was on earth when it formed (billions of years ago) to remain. In contaminated water, either deliberately or accidentally, it would depend on how much contaminate was added and the tritium concentration in it. Tritium can only be manufactured somewhere there is a high neutron flux (e.g., nuclear reactor or bomb, a star).


How can you clean tritium gun sites so they work?

How old are they? If they are about 25 years old or more they will probably be very dim and should be replaced. The halflife of Tritium is only 12.26 years, so after 25 years their brightness would be about 1/4 of what it was new. If they are less than 6 years old and not working right they are defective or broken, the tritium has probably escaped. Either way there is nothing to clean that would help. Getting a replacement Tritium ampule that fits may be difficult and/or expensive as the US has no dedicated Tritium production reactors since the shutdown of the Savanna River site in the 1990s.


What is the fraction of a sample of tritium that remains undecayed after fifty years?

This fraction is 12,5 %.


Tritium has a half life of 12.3 years if 118mg escapes what percent of the spill will remian radioactive in 61.5 years?

3.13% will be radioactive at that point.

What is the half life tritium?

The half-life of tritium is 12.32 years (12 years 3 months and 26-ish days).


How many days will it take an amount of tritium to fall to a quarter?

The half life of Tritium is 12.32 years. it would therefore take 24.64 years for the amount to fall to a quarter of the original.

How much of 8-gram sample of Hydrogen-3 would still be present after 12.3 years if the half life of a H-3 is 12.3 years?

If 12.3 years is the half-life of Tritium (H-3), then @ 12.3 years only half of the tritium should remain or 4 grams.

Tritium an isotope of hydrogen with one proton and two neutrons in its nucleus has a half-life of 12.3 years?

12.26 years is closer.


Tritium an isotope of hydrogen with one proton and two neutrons in its nucleus has a half-life of 12.3 years If 52.5 mg of tritium escapes from a nuclear power plant in the course of an accident?

6.25% will remain radioactive.
