Problem 16

We list some radioactive isotopes and their associated half-lives. Assume that each decays according to the formula \(A(t)=A_{0} e^{k t}\) where \(A_{0}\) is the initial amount of the material and \(k\) is the decay constant. For each isotope: \- Find the decay constant \(k\). Round your answer to four decimal places. \- Find a function which gives the amount of isotope \(A\) which remains after time \(t\). (Keep the units of \(A\) and \(t\) the same as the given data.) \- Determine how long it takes for \(90 \%\) of the material to decay. Round your answer to two decimal places. (HINT: If \(90 \%\) of the material decays, how much is left?) Chromium 51, used to track red blood cells, initial amount 75 milligrams, half-life 27.7 days.
