    After 28 sec 7.5 grams of Be will be left

    Explanation:

    Given dа ta:

    Total amount of Be = 30 g

    Half life of Be = 14 sec

    Mass left after 28 sec = ?

    Solution:

    First of all we will calculate the number of half lives in 28 sec.

    Number of half lives = T elapsed / half life

    Number of half lives = 28 sec / 14 sec

    Number of half lives = 2

    AT time zero = 30 g

    At first half life = 30 g/2 = 15 g

    At second half life = 15 g / 2 = 7.5 g

    So after 28 sec 7.5 grams of Be will be left.
