The radioactive isotope thorium 234 has a half-life of approximately 578 hours. (a) If a sample has a mass of 67 milligrams, find an expression for the mass after t hours. Q(t) = 67e-0.0011997 (b) How much will remain after 85 hours? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) 60.5 mg (c) When will the initial mass decay to 20 milligrams? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) 1008.3 x hr

. The radioactive isotope Uranium-234 decays to Thoriu-230 with a half-life of T. Thorium 230 itself is also radioactive and decays to Radium-226 with a half-life of γ and γ > τ Although Radium-226 is also radioactive its half-life is much longer than T and γ and here we assume that it is relative stable. Consider the scenario when we start with a certain amount of pure Uranium-234, because of this chain of decays, we...

Thorium (with half-life T1/2 = 1.913 yr. and atomic mass 228.0287 u) undergoes alpha decay and produces radium (atomic mass 224.0202 u) as a daughter nucleus. (Assume the alpha particle has atomic mass 4.002603 u.) 1) What is the decay constant of thorium? (Note that the answer must be in units of hrs-1.) λ = 2) What percent of thorium is left after 200 days? 3) The energy released from the decay of 10 g of thorium is used to...
