The time taken by Carbon-14 to decay radioactively from 120g to 112.5g is 22,920 years.
<h3>How do we calculate the total time of decay?</h3>
Time required for the whole radioactive decay of any substance will be calculated by using the below link:
T = (n)(t), where
- t = half life time = 5730 years
- n = number of half life required for the decay
Initial mass of Carbon-14 = 120g
Final mass of Carbon-14 = 112.5g
Left mass = 120 - 112 = 7.5g
Number of required half life for this will be:
- 1: 120 → 60
- 2: 60 → 30
- 3: 30 → 15
- 4: 15 → 7.5
4 half lives are required, now on putting values we get
T = (4)(5730) = 22,920 years
Hence required time for the decay is 22,920 years.

Answer:
From the numerical steps highlighted under explanation, the average atomic mass of bromine is 79.91 u
Explanation:
The steps to be taken will involve;
1) Find the number of isotopes of bromine.
2) Identify the atomic mass and relative abundance of each of the isotopes.
3) Multiply the atomic mass of each of the isotopes by their corresponding values relative abundance value.
4) Add the value in step 3 above to get the average atomic mass of bromine.
Now;
Bromine has 2 isotopes namely;
Isotope 1: Atomic mass = 78.92amu and a relative abundance of 50.69%.
Isotope 2: Atomic mass = 80.92amu and a relative abundance of 49.31%.
Using step 3 above, we have;
(78.92 × 50.69%)
And (80.92 × 49.31%)
Using step 4 above, we have;
(78.92 × 50.69%) + (80.92 × 49.31%) ≈ 79.91 u
