Answer:

  • 36 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Amount of radioactive material = 576 grams
  • Half-life = 64 hours
  • Time = 256 hours

Cycles of reduction:

  • 256/64 = 4

Material will be left:

  • 576*(1/2)^4 =
  • 576*1/16 =
  • 36 grams

Answer:

36 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 576 grams of the mercury like substance.

Half of it's lifespan is 64 hours.

The time is 256 hours.

256 ÷ 64 = 4

Material will be left:

576 x [tex](1/2^{4} )[/tex]

576 x 1/16 =  36 grams
