    The much of the sample that would remain unchanged after 140 seconds is 2.813 g

    Explanation

    Half life is time taken for the quantity to reduce to half its original value.

    if the half life for Scandium is 35 sec, then the number of half life in 140 seconds

    =140 sec / 35 s = 4 half life

    Therefore 45 g after first half life = 45 x1/2 = 22.5 g

    22.5 g after second half life = 22.5 x 1/2 = 11.25 g

    11.25 g after third half life = 11.25 x 1/2 = 5.625 g

    5.625 after fourth half life = 5.625 x 1/2 = 2.813

    therefore 2.813 g of Scandium 47 remains unchanged.
