Question

The half-life of a certain nuclide is 3.5 hours. Which statement below is true?

After 7.0 hours have elapsed, one-quarter of the original amount of the nuclide remains.

It is not possible to know exactly how much of the nuclide remains after 7.0 hours because temperature has an effect on the rate of decay. After 7.0 hours have elapsed, all of the nuclide has decayed (none remains). After 7.0 hours have elapsed, three-quarters of the original amount of the nuclide remains.

After 7.0 hours have elapsed, one-quarter of the original amount of the nuclide remains.
