Chapter 11, Problem 41P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: It is required to find the rate constant with the available information then the half-life time can be determined using an equation.

Concept Introduction:The half-life time is the time it takes for a sample to decay by 50%. A radioactive decay can be described using first order reaction kinetics.

All radioactive reaction follow first order kinetics thus, rate constant and half-life time are related to each other as follows:
