Zn-71 has a half life of 2.4 minutes. If one had 100g at the beginning, how many grams would be left after 12 minutes?

3.125g

Explanation

2.4 minutes = 1 half life

so 12 minutes = 5 half lives (12/2.4)

100g/2 = 50g (1 half life)

50g/2 = 25g (2 half lives)

25g/2 = 12.5g (3 half lives)

12.5g/2 = 6.25g (4 half lives)

6.25g/2 = 3.125g (5 half lives)
