How long will it take for 100 grams of a substance with a half-life of 2 years to decay to a mass of 50 grams?

2 years to decay to a mass of 50g.

Explanation:

given:

100g of substance with a half life of 2 years

to a mass of 50g

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

                          ln 2             0.693

Half life T1/2 =  =  

                              λ                  λ

where  λ = rate constant

The initial amount of 100 grams is decaying to a mass of 50 grams is half of its initial value.

Therefore, it will take 2 years for the decay.

nanotechnology is a powerful tool in biomaterials research as it creates numerous possibilities for the engineering of functional molecules. nano-bio refers to projected ability to incorporate biomimicry into various materials at nanoscale.  

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
