8.02 days
The answer is simple it is 8 days for iodine-131 but it depends on what isotope you are talking about
Iodine 131 has a half-life of 8.0197 days. Barium has no half-life. So no, Iodine-131 is not more stable than barium-137.
Not plutonium, but iodine-131 !!The half life of 131I is 8,0197 days.
After 32 days, approximately 5 milligrams of the 80-milligram sample of Iodine-131 would be left. Iodine-131 has a half-life of about 8 days, so after each 8-day period, half of the remaining sample will decay.
The half life of Iodine-131 is 8.02 days, that means that say if you had 1 gram of 131I after approximately 8 days there would be only 0.5g left. The other half would have become Xenon-131. After 6 half lives (~48 days in your case) you would only have 1.6% of the original amount left.
The time required is 24.06 days. The half life of iodine 131 is 8.02 days.
Never. As a simple exponential-decay problem, it can get as small as you want if you're willing to wait long enough, but it never reaches zero.
Iodine-131 is a radioactive isotope of the element iodine.

Iodine-131 was discovered in 1938 by Glenn Seaborg and John Livingood through their research on neutron bombardment of natural iodine. They found that radioactive iodine was produced in the reaction, leading to the discovery of Iodine-131.
