Question

500 grams of Murphonium is found to decay radioactively to 200g in 5 hours. If this decay is exponential, what is the half-life of Murphonium? Note: Not a real substance or science problem, also use the half life equation to solve (create an equation, then solve).

Answer 1

man, there is a half life equation already in your textbook

Answer 2

I don't have one...

Answer 3

okay

Answer 4

\[f(t) = b * (\frac{ 1 }{ 2 })^{\frac{ t }{ h }}\]

Answer 5

b = 500 grams
t = 200 grams
h = 5

Answer 6

I got 0.0000000045

Answer 7

okay

Answer 8

That doesn't make sense

Answer 9

well that's the equation in my book

Answer 10

well what are you looking for

Answer 11

wait sorrry

Answer 12

do this
b = 500
f(t) = 200
t = 5

Answer 13

now find h

Answer 14

h is half-life

Answer 15

\[200 = 500*(\frac{ 1 }{ 2 })^{\frac{ 5 }{ h}}\]

Answer 16

now find h

Answer 17

Answer 18

now you can solve this equation using properties of logs to find your half-life @CaptainSwaggy
