If iodine-131 has a half-life of 8 days, how much of a 64.0 g sample of iodine-131 will remain after 32 day?

4 g OF IODINE-131 WILL REMAIN AFTER 32 DAYS.

Explanation:

Half life (t1/2) = 8 days

Original mass (No) = 64 g

Elapsed time (t) = 32 days

Mass remaining (Nt) = ?

Using the half life equation we can obtain the mass remaining (Nt)

Nt = No (1/2) ^t/t1/2

Substituting the values, we have;

Nt = 64 * ( 1/2 ) ^32/8

Nt = 64 * (1/2) ^4

Nt = 64 * 0.0625

Nt = 4 g

So therefore, 4 g of the iodine-131 sample will remain after 32 days with its half life of 8 days.

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
