QuestionComplete the table shown to the right for the half-life of a certain radioactive substance. \begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline Half-Life & Decay Rate, k\mathbf{k} \\ \hline 19.5 days & \\ \hline \end{tabular} k=k= \square (Round to six decimal places as needed.)

Studdy Solution
Calculate the decay rate k k . First, compute ln(2) \ln(2) , which is approximately 0.693147:
k=0.69314719.5 k = \frac{0.693147}{19.5}
Perform the division:
k0.035545 k \approx 0.035545
Round the result to six decimal places:
k0.035545 k \approx 0.035545
The decay rate k k is:
0.035545 \boxed{0.035545}
