Radioactive plutonium−239 (t1/2 = 2.44 × 105 yr) is used in nuclear reactors and atomic bombs. If there are 6.40 × 102 g of the isotope in a small atomic bomb, how long will it take for the substance to decay to 1.00 × 102 g, too small an amount for an effective bomb? (Hint: Radioactive decays follow first-order kinetics.)
