Question

The half life of Pa – 218 is 3 minutes. What mass of a 16 g sample of Pa – 218 will remain after 15 minutes?

Solution

Correct option is

0.5 g

Since 15 minutes , the number of nuclei left after 15 minutes  of the original number. 

Therefore, the mass of 16 g sample left after 15 minutes

                            .
