The general equation for radioactive decay is;
N = N₀e^(-λt)
x - decay constant (λ) - rate of decay
t- time
N - amount remaining after t days , since we are calculating the half life, amount of time it takes for the substance to to be half its original value, its N₀/2
N₀ - amount initially present
substituting the values
N₀/2 = N₀e^(-0.081t)
0.5 = e^(-0.081t)
ln (0.5) = -0.081t
-0.693 = -0.081t
t = 0.693 / 0.081
= 8.55
half life of substance is 8.55 days
It is important to use chemicals of high quality and correct concentrations in experiment so that we can obtain the predictable result in an experiment
Purity of substances/chemicals is very important when performing experiments in the laboratories, because it plays an important role in the determination of the chemical properties of substances which will have a direct effect on the result obtained from the experiment. likewise using the correct concentration of reagents
During experiments to obtain the best/predictable result in an experiment it is of best practice to make use of chemicals of high quality and also at the exact(needed) concentrations, that way the predictable result of the experiment will be obtained.
