A radioactive isotope decays at a rate proportional to the amount of isotope present. If the concentration of isotope is C (mg l^-I), its rate of decay is:

                                                                    

A solution of the isotope ³²p is used to radioactively label DNA for hybridisation studies. The half-life of ³²p is 14.3 days. According to institutional safety requirements, the solution cannot be discarded until the activity is 1% its present value. How long will this take?____________________
