An element has a half-life of 5.0 days. How many days would
pass before only 1/8th of the original amount of a sample of this
element remained?

Respuesta :

Answer:

15 days

Explanation:

Given half-life = 5 days => k = 0.693/half-life = 0.693/5 days⁻¹

A = A₀e^-k·t => t = ln(A/A₀) / -k = ln(1/8) / -0.1386 days⁻¹ =  15 days
