A sample contains 110 g of a radioactive isotope. how much radioactive isotope will remain in the sample after 1 half-life? a. 100g
b. 25 g
c. 75 g
d. 50 g

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time such that the initial amount of the isotope is reduced to its half.

Thus, if we start with A grams of a given radioactive isotope, after a 1 half-life, we will have A/2 grams of the radioactive isotope.

In this case, we know that the sample has 110g of a radioactive isotope.

Then, after 1 half-life, we should have half of 110g, which is:

110g/2 = 55g

Then we should have 55 g of a radioactive isotope.

The answer that is closer to this result is option d (50 g), so that is the correct one.
