Answer : The substances half life in days is, 5.6 days.

Step-by-step explanation :

Half life : It is defined as the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

All radioactive decays follow first order kinetics.

The relation between the half-life and rate constant is:

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

where,

k = rate constant = 0.1235 per days

t_{1/2} = half-life

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

0.1235\text {days}^{-1}=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

t_{1/2}=5.6\text{ days}

Thus, the substances half life in days is, 5.6 days.
