Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of calculating the decay constant and half-life of Protactinium \( _{91}^{233}Pa \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We know that Protactinium decays to \( \frac{1}{5} \) of its initial quantity in 62.7 days. This means: - Initial quantity, \( N_0 \) - Final quantity, \( N = \frac{N_0}{5} \) - Time, \( t = 62.7 \) days ...
