One-half of the original amount. That's precisely the definition of "half-life".
If a sample of radioactive material has a half-life of one week the original sample will have 50 percent of the original left at the end of the second week. The third week would be 25 percent of the sample. The fourth week would be 12.5 percent of the original sample.
Hi, Each half-life means the mass of the sample has decreased by 1/2 its mass. Thus; After 1 half-life, 1/2 the sample has decayed. After 2 half-lives 3/4 of the sample has decayed. Hope this helps.
No, uranium-238 has a long half-life of about 4.5 billion years. It is a naturally occurring isotope that is commonly found in nature. Shorter-lived isotopes, such as radon-222 or polonium-214, have much shorter half-lives.
To calculate the amount of ice water needed to cool the sample to 20 degrees Celsius, you would need the initial temperature of the sample, the mass of the sample, and the specific heat capacities of water and ice. With this information, you could use the equation q = m * c * ΔT to determine the quantity of ice water needed to cool the sample.
Mass is the amount of matter in a sample of a substance. Mass translates directly to how much matter is in something, in other words, how many atoms are crammed into it.

1/16 of the original sample of any unstable element remains after 4 half lives.
None, I am afraid. Once the radioisotope is INSIDE the body, any EXTERNAL protective equipment is useless. The only helpful approach would be aiding the excretion of the radioactive substance, but the possibility of eliminating the radioisotope (through the urine, faeces, breath or sweat) depends very much on the type of isotope and on its chemical form-
Depends on what the sample is and how much of it you have.
depends on how much, but opiates halflife is anywhere from 12 to 72 hours. drink alot of water in the next couple of days and you should be safe
There is no one answer for an individual atom, but for a given radioisotope we usually quantify the rate of decay via the half-life, i.e. the average time it takes for half of the atoms of an isotope to decay. Realizing that some isotopes will decay to another radioisotope before eventually decaying to a stable product, this can get even more complicated. In mathematical terms the equation for concentration of the radioisotope approaches zero asymptotically. The math says that you will never get zero concentration - but of course atoms are discrete entities so that once the concentration predicted by the math drops below one atom, you have reached zero in the real world.
This would depend on the specific sample and its stability. Without additional information, it is not possible to determine how much of the sample would remain unchanged after two hours.
The answer depends on the underlying variance (standard deviation) in the population, the size of the sample and the procedure used to select the sample.

Approximately 80 of Earth's land remains unexplored.
The half life of uranium is not one day. For an isotope with the half life or one day, after 3 days: the quantity remained is 12,5 %.
