10 ~g of a radioactive element is disintegrated to 1 ~g in 2.303 minutes. What is the half-life (in minutes) of that radioactive element?
Options
- A1 / 0.693
- B6.93
- C1
- D0.693
Correct answer
D. 0.693
Step-by-step solution
Radioactive disintegration is first order reaction aligned k & = 2303 t a a-x & = 2.303 2.303 10 1 k & =1 t_ 1 / 2 & = 0.693 k = 0.693 1 & =0.693 ~min aligned
