Q: How much of a 1g sample of pure radioactive matter would be left after four half-lives?
Ans: - Given mass of sample of pure radioactive matter = 1g It remains After one half life 1T1/2 = 1/2g=0.5g It remains After two half life 2T1/2 = 0.25g It remains After three half life 3T1/2 = 0.125g It remains After four half life 4T1/2 = 0.0625g
It would be 0.0625 g after four half lives.
