The rate of decay of a body in a casket depends on several factors, such as environmental conditions, embalming process, and casket materials. In ideal conditions, a body in a sealed casket can take decades to significantly decay due to lack of oxygen and moisture.
You forgot to say that isotope is.
Ozone is decayed back to oxygen. It depends on how the ozone is being converted.
To determine how long it will take for 50 grams of a substance to decay to 10 grams with a decay constant (k = -0.345), we can use the exponential decay formula: [ N(t) = N_0 e^{kt} ] where (N_0) is the initial amount (50 grams), (N(t)) is the amount at time (t) (10 grams), and (k) is the decay constant. Rearranging the equation and solving for (t): [ 10 = 50 e^{-0.345t} ] Taking the natural logarithm of both sides and solving for (t) gives: [ t \approx \frac{\ln(5)}{-0.345} \approx 5.03 \text{ time units} ] Thus, it will take approximately 5.03 time units for the substance to decay from 50 grams to 10 grams.
The time it takes for a radioactive atom to decay can vary significantly depending on the specific isotope. This is measured in terms of a half-life, which is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay. Half-lives can range from fractions of a second to billions of years.
The decay rate of atoms is typically quantified by a half-life, which is the time it takes for half of the original atoms to decay. If we assume a constant decay rate, we can estimate that it takes approximately 3 half-lives for 75 of the original 100 silver atoms to decay. If the half-life of the silver isotope is 1 hour, then it would take approximately 3 hours for 75 of the atoms to decay.
When a body is buried in a casket, it undergoes a natural decomposition process over time. Initially, the body may be preserved for a period due to the airtight seal of the casket, which limits exposure to air and moisture. Eventually, bacteria and microorganisms break down the tissues, leading to the release of gases, and the body will decompose into organic matter. Depending on environmental conditions and the materials of the casket, this process can take several years to decades.

about 3-4 months
If a human is buried in the ground in a quality coffin, it could take as much as 50 years for the body to decompose. If the body is buried in a cheap casket, decomposition and exposed to the elements, decomposition happens very quickly.
Sheet metal can take hundreds to thousands of years to decay, depending on factors such as the environment and the type of metal.

Nuclear waste can take thousands to millions of years to decay completely, depending on the type of radioactive material.
The fustion will take place so long as the decay time for isotopes which is ...not stable is over.

It will take two half-lives or about 60.34 years for three-fourths of a Cs-137 sample to decay.
it takes 1 day 17 hours and 29 minutes for orange juice to rot or decay
The casket was filled with clothing and blankets.
