Strontium-90 is a radioactive waste product from nuclear reactors. It has a half-life of 29 years. How many years will it take for a quantity of strontium-90 to decay to 1/16 of its original mass?
It will take 29 years to decay to ½ its original mass; another 29 years to decay to ¼; another 29 years to ⅛; and another 29 years to 1/16.
29 + 29 + 29 + 29 = 116 years
a. You have 180 g of a radioactive substance. It has a half-life of 265 years. After 1,325 years, what mass remains?

Some technological solutions to problems like global warming meet the specific needs and situations of local communities. an example from india involves converting the solid waste from cattle into clean-burning fuel for cooking. this reduces the amount of greenhouse gases, specifically methane and carbon dioxide, released into the environment from wood fires. when evaluating the feasibility of implementing this solution, computer models are used to weigh costs against benefits. what factor is least likely to impact the decision on adopting this technology?
