Using the relationship between the half-live and the rate constant (In 2 -kts), determine the half-life of your radioactive substance,tw 7. Is your value of ty consistent with the accepted value of approximately 2.552 minutes for the halif-life of barium-137? What is the percent error? No, our hak lifevalue was 3.44 minutes, whicis o.sG2 minutes above the accepted value. 3.lit-2.ssaIx1oo,22.02% 8. What fraction of the initial activity of your barium sample would remain after 25 minu barium 137 9. Was a good assumption that the counts in the last five minutes would be due entirey to non-barium sources? Solution 8) given : n=t(given)/t(half) . here, n=25/3.114. . n=8. now,again: ms/ml=(1/2)^n. therefore ms/ml=(1/2)^8. . ms/ml=0.39%. 9) we see that amount of barium left is almost negigible.So yes,we can say that counts in the last 5 minutes would be entirely due to non barium sources. .
