The isotope 23893Np has a half-life of 2.0 days. If 4.00 grams are produced at noon on Monday, what will be the mass of neptunium remaining at noon on Tuesday of the following week?

0.25 gram of neptunium is remaining

Explanation:

First we calculate the no. of half lives passed. For that we have formula:

n = t/T

where,

n = no. of half lives passed = ?

t = total time passed = 8 days (From Monday noon to Tuesday noon of following week)

T = Half Life Period = 2 days

Therefore,

n = 8 days/2 days

n = 4

Now, for the remaining mass of neptunium, we use the formula:

m = (mi)/(2)^n

where,

mi = initial mass of neptunium = 4.00 grams

m = remaining mass of neptunium = ?

Therefore,

m = 4 grams/2⁴

m = 0.25 gram

hi i’m sorry to call us today so we will get back with y’all and we will have to do it haha omg was the day
