Chapter 12.4, Problem 11CC

The decay of a radioactive isotope was tracked over a number of hours, resulting in the following data. The decay of a radioactive element is modeled by the following equation, where C₀ is the initial amount of the element at time zero, and k is the decay constant of the isotope.

C=C₀e^-kt

Determine the initial concentration and decay constant of the isotope, including value and units.
