nov04: A = Ao e- ^ ( λt) so A/Ao = 1/10 ... now substitute the rest of the values and find ur answer..
June05: a) in the first 2.6h 1/2 of Fe is formed... in the next 2.6 h 3/4 of Fe is formed... then 7/8 .... go on and plot this on the graph...

c) the ratio shows that 9/10 of Fe is formed so 1/10 of manganese will remain...again apply the same equation... A=Ao e-(λt) ....

june 2005 q7 part c

mass of iron/mass of maganese=9/1
so the ratio is 9:1 and the total is 10

using the formula N=N0*e^-lamda*t
u already knw lamda frm b(ii)

so when t=0 N0=10 and when t=t(unknown) N=1
so 1=10*e^-(7.4*10^-5)*t
1/10=e^-(7.4*10^-5)*t

ln(1/10)=7.4*10^-5*t
(ln(1/10))/(7.4*10^-5)=t

ull get t in seconds =3116
which is 8.63 hours
