Question #338a0 Chemistry Nuclear Chemistry Nuclear Half-Life Calculations 1 Answer IDKwhatName Jul 18, 2017 #6 125g=6.125*10^(-3)kg# Explanation: Formula is #m_l=m_s*0.5^(t/h)#, where: #m_l# = mass left #m_s# = starting mass #t# = time #h# = half life Unit time for #h# and #t# must be the same. So, we have #m_l=98*0.5^(80/20)#, where #80# and #20# are the same unit of time. #80/20=4# #98*0.5^4=6.125g# Answer link Related questions How do you calculate nuclear half life?
