Given:

Half life(t^ 1/2) :30 years

A0( initial mass of the substance): 200 mg.

Now we know that

A= A0/ [2 ^ (t/√t)]

Where A is the mass that remains after t years.

A0 is the initial mass

t is the time

t^1/2 is the half life

Substituting the given values in the above equation we get

A= [200/ 2^(t/30) ] mg


Thus the mass remaining after t years is [200/ 2^(t/30) ] mg
