Chapter 19, Problem 32P(choose chapter or problem)
Consider the decay series
\(\mathrm{A} \longrightarrow \mathrm{B} \longrightarrow \mathrm{C} \longrightarrow \mathrm{D}\)
where A, B, and C are radioactive isotopes with halflives of 4.50 s, 15.0 days, and 1.00 s, respectively, and D is nonradioactive. Starting with 1.00 mole of A, and none of B, C, or D, calculate the number of moles of A, B, C, and D left after 30 days.
