Just divide the original amount by 2, 4 times: 10; 5; 2.5; 1.25. The final number is the answer.
Yes, that is true. This is because there are 1,000,000 micrograms in a gram. So 0.5 grams is 500,000 micrograms.
You would have to wait 6,000 years for this to occur, because it requires twice the half-life to reduce the radioactive isotope to 1/4 of its original mass.
The mass of 1 mole of the element is used as conversion factor to covert grams to moles. ~APEX
Grams
to convert an element to moles you need to setup and equation, for our example we will be using 5g of O2 or oxygen. You need to know what O2's molar mass is as well, it is 32g. So the equation would be 5g of O2 / 32 = .16 moles of O2. So to convert moles to grams all you do is multiply the moles given by the molar mass of the element/compound and you have your grams Hoped this helped : )
The rarest naturally occurring element on Earth is astatine. It is a radioactive element with a very short half-life, making it extremely rare and difficult to study. It is estimated that there is only a few grams of astatine present in the Earth's crust at any given time.

Astatine (At) is the element in group 7 that is so rare that there are only a few grams of it on Earth. It is a radioactive element and is created through the decay of heavier elements.
After 28 years, half of the 2.5 grams (1.25 grams) would remain. After another 28 years (56 years total), only 0.625 grams would remain, and so on. The amount of the radioactive element left can be calculated using the formula: remaining amount = initial amount * (1/2)^(years/half-life), where the initial amount is 2.5 grams and the years is the given time.
Yes, that is true. This is because there are 1,000,000 micrograms in a gram. So 0.5 grams is 500,000 micrograms.
500000 mgs 0.5kg
You would have to wait 6,000 years for this to occur, because it requires twice the half-life to reduce the radioactive isotope to 1/4 of its original mass.
One takes the atomic mass of that element (the number under the element on a periodic table, measured in amu). That number is the number of grams of the element it takes to make one mole. in other words:X grams (of element)(Atomic Mass of element)= --------------1 mol (of element)
Since the element has a half-life of 1000 years, it will take two half-lives for the mass to decrease to 5 grams from 20 grams. Two half-lives equal 2000 years, so you would have to wait 2000 years for the mass to decrease to 5 grams.
You would have to wait 6,000 years for this to occur, because it requires twice the half-life to reduce the radioactive isotope to 1/4 of its original mass.
You would have to wait for 2000 years for the mass to decrease to 50 grams (one half-life) and another 2000 years to decrease to 25 grams (two half-lives). So, in total, you would have to wait 4000 years for the mass to decrease to 25 grams.
