Answer:

6,25 gm

Explanation:

4. The half-life of C-14 is 30 years. If a scientist had 100.0 g at the beginning, how

many grams would be left after 120 years has elapsed?

10 years would be 120/30 = 4 half lives0

s0 the fraction of c-14 left would be four (1/2) multiplied together

1/2 X 1/2 X 1/2 X 1/2 = 1/16

SO 1/16 OF THE 100.0 gm would be left

100.0/16  = 6,25 gm
