Answer:
The correct answer is - 1/4 0f 6 gram or 1.5 gram to be exact.
Explanation:
Given:
Half-life of sulfate-12 = 18 years
number of half-lives - 2
initial amount - 6 grams.
Solution:
The Half-life of an element or substance is the required time to decay the half amount of the initial amount of the element.
Remaining amount = initial amount * (1/2)^n
here n = number of half lives
then,
Remaining amount = 6* (1/2)^2
= 6/4
= 1.5 g.
Thus, the correct answer is = 1.5 g or 1/4 of 6 gram.
