After 10 half lives, only ( \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{10} = \frac{1}{1024} ) or approximately 0.098% of the original amount of C14 would be left.

Chaser-381 has a half life of 2 days if you start with 8 grams of chaser-381 how much would you have left after eight days?

Eight days would be four half-lives. One-half to the fourth power is one-sixteenth. So you would have half a gram left.

How much uranium-238 would be left after 4500000000 years?

Since that is close to its half-life, about half the original quantity will be left.


Radium-226 has a half-life of 1602 years. If you start out with 15 grams of radium-226 how much will be left after 3 half-lives?

1.875g


How much of a 400-gram sample of K40 is left after 2 half-lives?

After the first half-life, you will have one half of the starting amount. After a second half-life period, you'll be down to one quarter. Of the part that radioactively decays, about 11% of it will decay to 40Ar, and the remainder to 40Ca. Of your total sample of ordinary potassium, only 0.012% will be 40K. The half-life of 40K is about 1.3x109 years.


How much sample of 10g of tritium with half life of 12.32 after 2 half lives?

After 2 half-lives (two half-lives of tritium is 12.32 x 2 = 24.64 years), the initial 10g sample of tritium would have decayed by half to 5g.


A sample of a radioactive element has a mass of 80 g. How much parent and daughter materials are in the sample after two half-lives?

A half-life is the amount of time it takes for half of the material to decay. So if you started with 80g After 1 half-life you would have 40 g After 2 half-lives you would have 20 g After three half-lives you would have 10 g


If a sample that originally contain 10 grams of C14 has gone through two half-lives of Decay how much C14 will be left?

2.5


How much of an element is left after 2 half lives?

Depends on how many grams you started with, but obviously if half decays, half is left.


After three half lives have passed how much of the original radioactive material will remaim?

After three half-lives, 12.5% of the original radioactive material will remain. Each half-life reduces the amount of material by half, so after three half-lives the remaining material will be 0.5^3 = 0.125 or 12.5%.


How much parent material will be left after five half-lives?

Only 1/32 of the original radioactive material will remain. (½)5 = 1/32
