9.A quantity of oxygen gas had 16.32g of the radioactive isotope oxygen-19 in it. When measured exactly 10 minutes later, the amount of oxygen-19 was 0.964g. What is the half-life, in seconds, of oxygen-19? (3 marks

-
fraction remainig, f was 0.964/16.32 after 6000 sec, so eqn. is

f = (0.964/16.32)^(t/600)

for half-life , 0.5 = (0.964/16.32)^(t/600)

t = 600*log 0.5 / log (0.964/16.32)

= 147 sec
