    This document contains multiple questions about radioactive decay, including: 1) Calculating the amount of radium-226 remaining after a certain number of years given its half-life. 2) Calculating the amount of cobalt-60 remaining after a period of time given its initial amount and half-life. 3) Calculating the amount of uranium-238 in a sample today given its initial amount and half-life. 4) Calculating how long it will take for only 1 mg of polonium-218 to remain given its initial amount. It also asks about completing nuclear equations, identifying types of decay, and naming types of nuclear reactions.

    Assuming a half-life of 1599 years in how many years will 1/16 of a given amount of radium-226

    remain?

    9. The half-life of cobalt-60 is 10.47 min. How many milligrams of cobalt-60 remain after 104.7 min if
    you start with 10.0mg?

    10. The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.46X109 years. If 4.46X109 years ago a sample contained 4.0mg of
    uranium-238, how many milligrams of uranium-238 does the sample contain today?

    11. The half-life of polonium-218 is 3.0min. If you start with 16 mg, how long will it be before only
