Radioactive Half-Lives

perform simple, non-logarithmic half life calculations. graph data from radioactive decay and estimate half life values. graph data from radioactive decay and infer an exponential relationship between measured radioactivity and elapsed time.

Ans:B B

In P30, we are concerned with the rate at which decay occurs If we construct a graph of the number of atoms vs. time of a particular radioactive isotope, we would find the following:

The graph is exponential, so there must be an exponential relationship between the number of nuclei decaying and time. In one period of time, one half of the initial nuclei, N o, decay. In another period of time, one half of one half (1/4N o ) decay.

Once a radioactive element has undergone decay it is changed into something else (trasmuted). This means that the number of parent nuclei is continuously decreasing. A quantitative measure of longevity of a particular isotope is its half-life. This is the time it takes one half of a radioactive sample to decay.

A mathematical equation that can model this decay is:

Sometimes questions are phrased with N = number of nuclei, but this is not practical in real life. More often, N = a mass of a radioactive material (kg). Other times, N is expressed as an activity, the number of decays per second: N = activity of radioactive material (Bq).

Some elements have very short half-lives: polonium-214 has a half-life of 1.64 x s, krypton-89 is 3.16 min uranium-238 is 4.47 x 10 9 years indium-115 is 4.41 x years.

We can calculate the number of half lives of a substance by taking the time it is decaying for and dividing by the time of one half life.

Radon-222 has a half-life of 3.83 days. How many half-lives have passed after one year? If we start off with 10 mg of this sample, how much remains after a year? Answer:95 Answer:2.05x kg

The t 1/2 of strontium is 28.5 years. What percentage of the original sample remains after 100 years? A sample of putnamium-11 has a half life of 20 weeks. After 52 weeks, its activity is 18.0 Bq. What was the sample’s original activity? Answer: 8.79% 109 Bq
