Video Transcript

love. Ron, this is Ricky today, working on Problem 38. We have to determine what the half life for. The first order to K of Carbon 14 is so let's go carbon. It's in actually this election and then we have a great constant for the decay with 1.21 times 10 to the native forth per year. All right, so because we know this is first order to K, we can use our half life of 0.693 over K to get the half life. So we just plug in K. When we find a T. 1/2 is equal to five 1007 127 went to seven years. So it's video. Some people see you in the next one.
