Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 8 minutes. If there are 480 grams of Element X, how long, to the nearest tenth of a minute, would it take the element to
decay to 14 grams?
y=a(.5)

40.8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 8 minutes. If there are 480 grams of Element X, how long, to the nearest tenth of a minute, would it take the element to decay to 14 grams?

The formula to find how long it would take which is the time elapsed is given as:

t = t½ × In(Nt/No)/-In2

t = ?

t½ = 8 minutes

Nt = Amount after the time of decay = 14 grams

No = Original Amount of substances = 480 grams

t = 8 × In(14/480)/-In2

t = 40.796285388407 minutes

Approximately to the nearest tenth = 40.8 minutes

Therefore, it would take the element X, 40.8 minutes to decay to 14 grams
