Iodine-131 has a half life of 8 days.  A sample starts with 3000 counts per second.  How many days will it take to have a count rate of 94 days?

• 32 days
• 40 days
• 375 days

What happens during beta decay?

• Neutron turns into a proton; proton number goes up by 1, mass number stays the same.
• Neutron turns into a proton; proton number stays the same, mass number goes up by 1.
• It releases 2 protons + 2 neutrons; mass number decreases by 4, proton number decreases by 2
• Proton turns into a neutron; proton number goes up by 1, mass number stays the same.
