Question

Half life of 24na is 900 minutes.whats it's decay constant

Answer 1

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Radioactive decay constant of 24Na = 1299 /min

● Explanation -

# Given -

t½ = 900 min

# Solution -

For a radioactive substance, half life and radioactive decay constant are related as -

t½ = ln2 / k

k = t½ / ln2

k = 900 / 0.693

k = 1299 /min

Hence, radioactive decay constant of 24Na is 1299 /min.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
