5 The number of radioactive atoms, N, in a sample of a sodium isotope after time
t hours can be modelled by
N ¼ N 0ekt
where N 0 is the initial number of radioactive atoms in the sample and k is a positive
constant.
The model remains valid for large numbers of atoms.
5 (a) It takes 15.9 hours for half of the sodium atoms to decay.
Determine the number of days required for at least 90% of the number of atoms in the
original sample to decay.
