5 grams of chucknorrisidium created, decays at a half-life of 16,000,000 Need 1 gram for experiments. How long before the is 1 gram remaining

the time taken for the element to remain 1 gram is 38,400,000 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

initial mass, m = 5 g

half life, t = 16,000,000 unit

The time taken for the element to remain 1 gram is calculated as;

          mass remaining                                      time

             5 g                                                        0

             2.5 g                                                    16,000,000

             1.25 g                                                   32,000,000

            0.625 g                                                 48,000,000

Interpolate to obtain the time at 1 gram;

1.25 g ----------------------------------   32,000,000

1 g --------------------------------------------- x

0.625 g --------------------------------------- 48,000,000

Therefore, the time taken for the element to remain 1 gram is 38,400,000 unit.
