It took 55 days for a radioactivity of 1.75 x 1012 Bq to remain 0.135 Ci. What is the half-life of this radioactivity?

From the calculations, we can see that the half life of the material is 11.4 days

What is radioactivity?

The term radioactivity refers to the spontaneous disintegration of a radioactive nucleus. The time taken for half of the radioactive material to remain.

Given that;

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

N = amount that remained

No = amount that remained in the beginning

t = time taken

t1/2 = half life of the substance

N =Noe^-kt

4.995 ×10^9 = 1.75 x 10^12e^-55k

3.5* 10-2=e^-55k

k = ln3.5* 10-2/-55

k =0.06095

t1/2 = 0.693/0.06095

t1/2 = 11.4 days
