The mass of a radioactive element decays at rate given by m (t) = m0e-rt, where m (t) is the mass at any time t, m0 is the initial mass, and r is the rate of decay.

Uranium-240 has a rate of decay of. 0491593745. What is the mass of U-240 left after 10 hours, if the initial mass is 50 grams? [Use e = 2.71828.]

    M (t) = (50 x 2.71828) - (.04915 x 10)

    m (t) = 135.914 -.4915

    m (t) = 135.4225
