A certain radioactive material is known ...

A certain radioactive material is known to decay at a rate proportional to the amount present. If initially there is 50 kg of the material present and after two hours it is observed that the material has lost 10% of its original mass, find () and expression for the mass of the material remaining at any time t, (ii) the mass of the material after four hours and (iii) the time at which the material has decayed to one half of its initial mass.
