Find the half-life, in days, of Co-60. Round your
answer to the nearest tenth.
Cobalt-60 is used in the treament of
cancer. A sample contains 8 grams of Co-
60 where k = 0.1308.
Enter the correct answer.
N = Noe -kt
DONE
No = initial mass (at time t = 0)
DOO
(อ
N = mass at time t
k = a positive constant that depends on
the substance itself and on the units
used to measure time
t = time, in days

Respuesta :

Answer:5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Why

Divide both sides by 8

4=8e ^-0.1308t

0.5=e^-0.1308t

Take log of both sides

In0.5=Ine^-0.1308t

Apply In e^x=x

In0.5=-0.1308

Divide both sides by -0.1308 to solve for t

t=5.3
