Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 26 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample of Element X is 680 grams, how much of the element would remain after 19 years, to the nearest whole number?

Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
The first thing to notice here is that the problem is giving you the half-life of titanium-44.
As you know, the half-life of a radioactive nuclide,
t
1/2
, tells you the amount of time needed for half of an initial sample of said nuclide to undergo radioactive decay.
In this case, you know that every
63
years, the mass of titanium-44 present in a sample is halved.
t
1/2
=
63 years
