Tablets of KI were distributed to people living around Chernobyl one week after the nuclear reactor explosion occurred, to help flush radioactive 131I isotope out of their bodies. 131I has a half-life of 8 days.

a) What percentage of the 131I released by the explosion would have remained by that time? Use the first order kinetic equation: [A] = [A]o e-kt

b) How long would it have taken for 99% of the released I-131 to undergo radioactive decay?
