If you start with 1.000 gram sample of the isotope how much time would pass before you have just 0.100 grams of the isotope left

So, you're dealing with a sample of cobalt-60. You know that cobalt-60 has a nuclear half-life of

5.30

years, and are interested in finding how many grams of the sample would remain after

1.00

year and

10.0

years, respectively.

A radioactive isotope's half-life tells you how much time is needed for an initial sample to be halved.

If you start with an initial sample

A

0

, then you can say that you will be left with

A

0

2

→

after one half-life passes;

→

after four half-lives pass;

Explanation:

now i know the answer

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
