To find the half life of iodine (i.e) t= ? when P=P02= 102=5 grams of iodine P=10e0.086t substitute P=5 in the above equation 5=10e0.086t Dividing both sides by 10 we get, 510=e0.086t
 e0.086t= 12
e0.086t=2 Taking log on both sides we get, 0.086t=loge2
 t= loge20.086= 0.693100.086=8.0598  8 Therefore it took 8 days for the iodine reduces to 5 grams
