An irreversible, disabling form of this disease called silicosis can occur when a miner inhales excessive amounts of crystalline silica, or quartz

The time necessary for the decay of one- half sample of a radioactive substance is a _____. mass defect daughter half life nucli

Mazyrski [523]

Answer: half life

Explanation: Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics and the time required for the decay of a radioactive material is calculated as follows:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\hspace{1mm}log\frac{x}{a}$

t= time required

k= disintegration constant

x= amount of substance left after time t

a= initial amount of substance

when one half of the sample is decayed, one half of the sample remains and t can be represented as $t_{1/2}$

at $t= t_{1/2}$ , $x=\frac{a}{2}$

$t_{1/2}=\frac{2.303}{k}\hspace{1mm}log\frac{a/2}{a}$

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$
