Plot the parent daughter curves on the graph below based on the values of their abundances with time (in half -lives ). The purpose of this graph is to observe the rate of decay of a random isotope using the half -lives . Your graph should have 2 lines. where the Y-axis is the concentration and the X-axis is the number of half -lives .
The following table shows the number of half-lives and the corresponding remaining parent as well as daughter isotopes whereas the graph in the explanation shows the plotted data points.
Number of Half-lives | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Remaining parent isotopes percentage | 100 | 50 | 25 | 12.5 | 6.25 | 3.125 | 1.563 |
Remaining daughter isotopes percentage | 0 | 50 | 75 | 87.5 | 93.75 | 96.875 | 98.437 |
Step-by-step explanation
Please see the following graph that shows the percentage of parent and daughter atoms versus the number of half-lives. The number of half-lives is on the X-axis and the percentage of parent and daughter atoms is on the Y-axis. The black-colored line is for the remaining parent isotope percentage and the red-colored line is for the remaining daughter isotope percentage.
110 100 90 80 70 Remaining 60 parent & Parent daughter percentage percentage 50 - Daughter 40 percentage 30 20 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Number of Half-Lives
