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?
