The radioisotope , tritium `(""_(1)^(3)H)` has a half-life of 12.3 years. If the initial amount of tritium is 32 mg , how many milligrams of it would remain after 49.2 years ?

A

8 mg

B

1 mg

C

2 mg

D

4 mg

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`N_(t) = N_(0) ((1)/(2))^(n) = 32 xx ((1)/(2))^(49.2//12.3) = 32 xx ((1)/(2))^(4) = 2`
