The half-life of radio isotope is 4 h. If initial mass of the isotope was 200 g, then mass remaining after 24 h will be

  • 1.042 g 

  • 2.084 g

  • 3.125 g

  • 4.167 g

Solution

C.

3.125 g

   half-life of radio isotope = 4 h

   Initial mass Mo = 200 g   

            M = Mo 12 tt1/2

     ∴          M = 200 12242

                    = 200 126

                    = 20064

              M =  3.125 g
