Uranium-238 is an isotope. It has a half-life of 4.5 Billion years. 13.5 Billion years have passed so how much Uranium is left if we started with 5000g?

@johnweldon1993 anyone can help me?!

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Hang on trying to solve it :)

Ok Thank You Take your time!

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

So basically...Just from the half life formula it would be \[\huge N(t) = 5000g(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{13.5}{4.5}}\]

Aha.. These are my answer choices for the question! 1250g 625g 13.5g

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

That would be 625g :)
