Half-Lives
29. If gallium-68 has a half-life of 68.3 minutes, how much of a 10mg sample is left after two half-lives?
30. If the passing of five half-lives leaves 25.0mg of a strontium-90 sample, how much was present in the
beginning?
31.The radioisotope cesium-137 has a half-life of 30 years. A sample decays at the rate of 544counts/min
(544cpm) in 1985. In what year will the decay be 17cpm?
32. Manganese-56 is a beta emitter with a half-life of 2.6hr. What is the mass of manganese-56 in a 1mg
sample of the isotope after 10.4hr?
33. Nitrogen-13 emits beta radiation and decays to C-13 with t1/2 = 10min. Assume a starting mass of
2.0g of N-13. How many grams of that isotope will remain after 40min?
34. The radioisotope Mo-91 has a t1/2 of 15.5min. A sample decays at the rate of 954counts/min
(954cpm). After how many minutes will the decay be 7.45cpm?
