An eighth.
A half-life of a radioisotope is the time required for half of a sample to decay. In this case, a 50-g sample becoming 25 g after 18 days indicates that the half-life of the radioisotope is 18 days, as the sample has decreased to half its original amount in that time.
18 years. Half-life is defined as the time it takes 50% of the nuclide to decay.
The problem was not given. If it has a constant rate of 6.70 times 10 up to the 3. the half life would be 0.693 k. So one eighth of initial value would be calculated by multiplying one half by its self 3 times. So it would be 3 half lifes.
I dont know cant find the answer any where and i need this answer for my biology essay
Many isotopes have 18 neutrons.
18 days
A half-life of a radioisotope is the time required for half of a sample to decay. In this case, a 50-g sample becoming 25 g after 18 days indicates that the half-life of the radioisotope is 18 days, as the sample has decreased to half its original amount in that time.
18 grams are one fourth of the original sample mass of 72 grams. Accordingly, the half life is 6.2/4 = 1.55 days.
After 3 half lifes there will 45 counts per hour (360 -> 180 -> 90 ->45). Therefore 3 half lifes equals 18 hours. One half life is therefore 6 hours.

12 days represents four half-lives in this case. Therefore you would have a half of a half of a half of a half of 16 g, or 1/16 * 16 g, or 1 g. You'd also have 15 g of something else. The object doesn't actually disappear, it just changes into a different substance.
How long a drug stays in your blood and/or urine is usually determined by its half-life. The half-life of a drug is the time it takes your body to metabolize and excrete the medication. Flexeril has a half-life of 18 hours, so it would take 3.75 days for it to clear out of your body completely.

Bismuth has recently been found to have a no stable isotope and has a half-life of 4.6 x 10^19 years. Also, the simple hydrogen atom (a single proton), is theorized to decay at a rate of 6.6 x 10^33 years. So far all tests to observe a proton decay have failed.
Ununpentium, also known as element 115, is a synthetic, highly unstable element with a very short half-life. It is a superheavy element that has not been observed in nature and is primarily produced in particle accelerators. Its properties and characteristics are still being studied due to its extremely short existence.
