Argon-39 has a half-life of 269 years. How long will it take for 52.5 g of a 60.0 g sample to decay to its daughter isotope?

OpenStudy (lolaismy):

Half life = (time * log 2) / log (beginning amount / ending amount) I think this is the half life equation you're looking for.

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

ah I figured it out, thank you though!

OpenStudy (lolaismy):

Elapsed time = Half life * log (beginning amount/ending amount) all over log(2)

But good for you have a wonderful night :D
