The half-life of the radioactive element unobtanium-43 is 10 seconds. If 48 grams of unobtanium-43 are initially present, how many grams are present after 10 seconds? 20 seconds? 30 seconds? 40 seconds? 50 seconds?

At time, 10 seconds, the mass remaining is 24 grams

At time, 20 seconds, the mass remaining is 12 grams

At time, 30 seconds, the mass remaining is 6 grams

At time, 40 seconds, the mass remaining is 3 grams

At time, 50 seconds, the mass remaining is 1.5 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

initial mass of the radioactive element  = 48 grams

half life, t = 10 seconds

time of decay (s)                          remaining mass of the  radioactive element

0 48 grams

10 24 grams

20 12 grams

30 6 grams

40 3 grams

50 1.5 grams

600.75 grams

Thus;

At time, 10 seconds, the mass remaining is 24 grams

At time, 20 seconds, the mass remaining is 12 grams

At time, 30 seconds, the mass remaining is 6 grams

At time, 40 seconds, the mass remaining is 3 grams

At time, 50 seconds, the mass remaining is 1.5 grams
