    So Half life equal to 0.693 Divided by Decay constant

  • Shivam sharma

    That equation is the relation between half life and Decay constant

    see answer for question 1in updated attached file that is 1.54 * 10^-10 Answer for second one There are four radioactive isotopes of lead: 210Pb and 214Pb in the 238U decay chain,  211Pb in the 235U decay chain, and 212Pb in the 232Th decay chain. All except 210Pb have half-lives of less than 12 hours.
