Answer #1
Let the number of nuclei of type A be No=1600
And the the number of nuclei of type B after decay be N=1400
Let the n be the number of half life after type A nuclei decays to satble type B nuclei
Relation between number of nuclei and half lifes is given by
Taking natural log on both side.

You have equal numbers of two radioactive nuclei to start with.
The A nuclei have a half life of 4 days, while the half life of the
B nuclei is unknown. After waiting for 12 days, you find that there
are twice as many B nuclei remaining as there are A nuclei. What is
the half life of the B nuclei?

The half-lives in two different samples, A and B, of radioactive
nuclei are related according to T1/2,B = 1 6 T1/2,A. In a certain
period the number of radioactive nuclei in sample A decreases to
one-fourth the number present initially. In this same period the
number of radioactive nuclei in sample B decreases to a fraction f
of the number present initially. Find f.

The 238U nucleus has a relatively complicated
radioactive decay sequence until it becomes a stable
206Pb nucleus.
The questions below should help you understand why this sequence is
not a simple series of alpha decays, but involves both alpha and
beta-minus decays.
How many protons and how many neutrons must be removed from the
unstable 238U nucleus to decay into a stable
206Pb nucleus?
1)How many protons and neutrons?
2) Find the minimum, actual, and extra number of alpha decays...

Radioactive iodine is used in nuclear imaging techniques such as
photoemission tomography (PET scans) and X-ray CT scans. It decays
according to the nuclear reaction below
I^123 à Te^123 + electron neutrino
The following experiments were run to determine the order of the
reaction:
Rate (mol/L hr) [I^123]
0.00725

The Curie (Ci) is a unit of radioactivity named after Marie
Sklodowski-Curie and Pier Curie, it represents the activity of one
gram of the most stable isotope of radium 226Ra, or 3. 7
∗ 1010 decays per second. While Ci is not a SI unit, it
is commonly used by the US industries and government bodies. The
isotope has a half-life of about T1/2 ≈ 1600 years. Thus
the decay coefficient for 226Ra equals k = (ln

Iconic memory is a type of memory that holds visual information
for about half a second (0.5 seconds). To demonstrate this type of
memory, participants were shown three rows of four letters for 50
milliseconds. They were then asked to recall as many letters as
possible, with a 0-, 0.5-, or 1.0-second delay before responding.
Researchers hypothesized that longer delays would result in poorer
recall. The number of letters correctly recalled is given in the
table.
