Half life of a certain radioactive material is 8 hours.
If one starts with 600 g of this substance, how much of it will disintegrate in one day? 

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how much of the radioactive material will disintegrate in one day, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Half-life of the radioactive material, \( t_{1/2} = 8 \) hours - Initial amount of the substance, \( N_0 = 600 \) grams - Total time, \( t = 1 \) day = 24 hours ### Step 2: Calculate the number of half-lives that have passed ...
