Answer: 17 years
Explanation:
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics for radioactive substance is given by:
where,
k = rate constant
t = age of sample
a = let initial amount of the reactant
a - x = amount left after decay process
a) for completion of half life:
Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.
b) for 8900 g of the mass of the sample to reach 7700 grams
Thus it will take 17 years
