Expert Solution
Step 1

Given : Half life i.e t1/2 of reactant (radioactive isotope) = 176.5 hr.

And percent of reactant reacted 46.80 %.

 

Step 2

Since the decay reactions are first order reactions.

And we know that the relationship between the amount of reactant i.e [A] and time for a first order reaction is given by 

=> ln[A]0[A] = Kt

where [A] = final amount of reactant = (1 - 0.4680) [A]0 = 0.532 [A]0                            (because 46.8 % is decaying)

[A]0 = initial amount of reactant = [A]0 

t = time 

K = Rate constant
