text: In fact, radioactive decay is a first-order process and can be described in terms of either the differential rate law (Equation \(\ref{21.4.5}\)) or the integrated rate law: \[N = N_0e^{−kt} \] \[\ln
text: Calculate the value of the decay rate constant for [latex]{}_{37}^{87}\text{Rb}[/latex], remembering that all radioactive decay is first order:
text: 1) Since radioactive decay is first-order, we use the integrated form of the first-order rate law:
text: Because radioactive decay is a first-order process, the time required for half of the nuclei in any sample of a radioactive isotope to decay is a constant, called the half-life of the isotope.
