The decay rate of a certain chemical is 9 4% per year. What is its half-life? Use the exponential
decay model P(t) = P_0e^-kt where kt is the decay rate, and P_o is the original amount of
chemical. The half-life of the chemical is years. (Round to the nearest integer)
Solution
k = 9.4% = 0.094
P(t) = Poe^(-kt)
0.5Po = Poe^(-0.094t)
0.5 = e^(-0.094t)
take natural log on both sides:
ln0.5 = -0.094t
t = 7.37 = 7 years is the half life
