In an experiment, 1.6 grams of Sr-90 was buried in 1952. How much of this sample is still Sr-90 in 2008?

Assume Sr 90 has a half life of 28.8 years.

Half-life of Sr-90 = 28.79 years

Time taken = 2008 - 1952 = 56 years

No. of half-lives = 56/28.79

Mass of still Sr-90 = 1.6 × (1/2)^(56/28.79) g = 0.42 g

Roughly 0.4 g are left..

2008 - 1952 = 56. Half-life Sr-90 = c. 28 years

56 / 28 = (2 cycles)

1.6 / 2 = 0.8, 0.8 / 2 = 0.4.

Sr-90 has a half-life of 28.78 years. So just count how many half-lives from 1952 to 2008, and divide by 2 for each half-life.

Hint: I get a number between 10% and 50%.
