Answer : The value of decay constant is, [tex]1.1\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}[/tex]
Explanation :
Half-life of plutonium-240 = 6300 years
The expression used to calculate the rate constant is:
[tex]k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}[/tex]
where,
k = decay constant
[tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] = half-life
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
[tex]k=\frac{0.693}{6300\text{ years}}[/tex]
[tex]k=1.1\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}[/tex]
Therefore, the value of decay constant is, [tex]1.1\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}[/tex]
