    [attention grabbing title here]

    Suppose you start with 100 grams of the radioactive isotope Carbon-14, which has a half-life of 5,000 years. After 20,000 years, how much parent material will remain and how much daughter material will be produced?

    answers plawks?
    already looked in my bio book and i couldnt find it...

    How? Half life of a radioactive material is x. Meaning, every x years the amount of radioactivity will have dropped by 50%. See where this is going? Find the daughter material yourself.

    And mega tons = million tons. He is trolling, that would be 10,000,000,000 pounds. (10 billion.) Now how the fuck would that come out out of 100 grams?
