Element X has a half life of 6 days. If you start with 50 kg of element
how much would be left after 3 days?
12.5 kg
25 kg
50 kg
35.35 kg



Answer :

12.5 grams will be left.

Given:

half life of X= 6 days

Initial amount - 50 kg

Amount left after 3 days = ?

Half life - The period of time needed for anything to go through a process in which half of it participates, for example, the period of time needed for half of a radioactive substance's atoms to disintegrate. It means after half life the element will become half its quantity.

A quantity's half-life (symbol - t1/2) is the amount of time needed for it to decrease to half of its initial value. In nuclear physics, the phrase is frequently used to indicate how rapidly unstable atoms decay radioactively or how long stable atoms last.

According to the question, If half life is 6 days and we start with 50 kg of element, after 6 days it will become 25 kg and after 3 days it will become 12.5 grams .
