0.0015 If I am mistaken, this needs to be edited out. Half life of one hour means that half the material will be left after one hour. Over the next hour half of that amount is left, etc. So over three hours, you would have 1/2 X 1/2 X 1/2, or one eighth of the material left. 1/8 is .125 of the original gram.

Since one hour is equal to 3 20-minute periods, you would be left with (1/2)^3 = 1/8 of the original amount.

If Ra-226 had a f life of 1600 years and you have 20 grams how much will be left in 3200 years?

I will try to make the answer simple for you. Half life is 1600 years. So After 1600 years you have half the mass left. That is 10 grams. After another 1600 years, you will be left with half the mass of 10 grams. That is five grams. So after total 3200 years you will be left with 5 grams of mass of the Ra-226 left with.

Why is half life important when choosing relative material for diagnostic and treatment purposes?

Half life referees to the length of time that it takes for 50% of the substance to degrade, to a more stable substance. So lets say you give a patient 100 grams of chemical X that has a half life of 1 hour. So after the 1st hour ½ of the substance would have degraded leaving 50 grams of chemical X in their system. After the 2nd hour 25 grams would be left, after the 3rd hour 12.5 grams…..and so on and so forth till only a very small amount is left in their system. So you don't want to give substances that degrade to quickly (being ineffective) or take to long (potentially poisoning the person) to get out of their systems.
