Solved: Radioactive copper-64 decays with a half-life of

Chapter , Problem 24

(choose chapter or problem)

Radioactive copper-64 decays with a half-life of 12.8 days. a. What is the value of k in b. A sample contains 28.0 mg 64Cu. How many decay events will be produced in the first second? Assume the atomic mass of 64Cu is 64.0. c. A chemist obtains a fresh sample of 64Cu and measures its radioactivity. She then determines that to do an experiment, the radioactivity cannot fall below 25% of the initial measured value. How long does she have to do the experiment?
