<u>Answer:</u> The time required will be 19.18 years
<u>Explanation:</u>
All the radioactive reactions follows first order kinetics.
The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time taken for decay process = ?
= initial amount of the reactant = 2 g
[A] = amount left after decay process = (2 - 0.5) = 1.5 g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the time required will be 19.18 years
