The half-life of any substance is the amount of time taken for half of the original quantity of the substance present to decay. The half-life of a radioactive substance is characteristic to itself, and it may be millions of years long or it may be just a few seconds.
In order to determine the half-life of a substance, we simply use:
t(1/2) = ln(2) / λ
Where λ is the decay constant for that specific isotope.

The concentration of the original calcium ions is 0.005 M
<h3>What is concentration?</h3>
The term concentration has to do with the amount of substance in solution. We know that the concentration can be measured in a lot of units such as mole/litre, grams per litre, percentage and so on.
As such we have the equation;
Ca^2+(aq) + (NH4)2CrO4(aq) --------> CaCrO4(s) + 2NH4^+(aq)
Number of moles of the precipitate = 346.7 * 10^-3 g/156 g/mol
= 0.0022 moles
Now;
1 mole of Ca^2+ produces 1 mole of CaCrO4 hence 0.0022 moles of CaCrO4 was produced by 0.0022 moles of CaCrO4.
Given that the volume of the solution is 0.440 L, the concentration of the solution is; 0.0022 moles/0.440 L
= 0.005 M
