we have:
[A]o = 35.8 Bq
[A] = 13.8 Bq
t = 25.7 days
use integrated rate law for 1st order reaction
ln[A] = ln[A]o - k*t
ln(13.8) = ln(35.8) - k*25.7
2.625 = 3.578 - k*25.7
k*25.7 = 0.9533
k = 3.709*10^-2 days-1
Given:
k = 3.709*10^-2 days-1
use relation between rate constant and half life of 1st order reaction
t1/2 = (ln 2) / k
= 0.693/(k)
= 0.693/(3.709*10^-2)
= 18.68 days
Answer: 18.7 days
