4.26 Initial concentration, [R]° = 1? g

Final concentration, [R] Half-life t1/2 = 28.1 years Solution:

We know, t1/2 = 0.693/k Where, k – rate constant

? k = 0.693/ t1/2

? k = 0.693/ (28.1 yrs)

? k = 0.0246 yrs-1

Also, t = 2.303 / k log R0 / R

If t = 10yrs, then, using the formula, we get,

t = 2.303 / k lo
