Fluorine-21 has a half -life of approximately 5 seconds. how much of a 200 gram sample would remain after 1 minute

0.0488 g

We are given

The radioisotope Fluorine-21

Half-life is 5 seconds

Initial mass of Fluorine-21 is 200 g

Time = 1 min or 60 seconds

Required to determine the New mass after decay

New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n , where n is the number of half lives.

In this case, n = 60 s ÷ 5 s

                       = 12

New mass = 200 g × (1/2)^12

                 = 200 g × 1/4096

                = 0.0488 g

Therefore, the mass of Fluorine-21 remaining after 1 minute is 0.0488 g

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
