How much time would it take for 12000 atoms of nitrogen-13 (half-life is 7.13 s) to decay to 750 atoms?
! : (

28.52 seconds

Initial number of atoms of Nitrogen 12,000 atoms

Half-life = 7.13

Number of atoms after decay = 750 atoms

We are required to determine the time taken for the decay.

Note that half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay to a half of its original amount.

Using the formula;

Remaining amount = Initial amount × (1/2)^n , where n is the number of half lives

In our case;

750 atoms = 12,000 atoms × (1/2)^n

0.0625 = 0.5^n

n = log 0.0625 ÷ log 0.5

n = 4

But, 1 half life =7.13 seconds

Therefore;

Time taken = 7.13 seconds × 4

                  = 28.52 seconds

Therefore, the time taken for 12,000 atoms of nitrogen to decay to 750 atoms is 28.52 seconds

african americans demonstrated their newly found freedom by relocating often in search of relatives whom they had been separated from during slavery. others established schools to educate freed people and they built institutions such as churches and political organizations to advocate for their rights.
