What is the half-life for the first order decay of 14C according to the reaction, 146C — 147N +e- ? The rate constant for the decay is 1.21 x10-4 year-1

5727 years or 5730 (rounded to match 3 sig figs) whichever one your teacher prefers

Explanation:

First Order decay has a half life formula of Half Life = Ln (2) / k = 0.693/K

Half-life = 0.693/k = 0.693/1.21 x10-4 =  5727 years or 5730 (rounded to match 3 sig figs)

This should be correct because if you google the half-life of 14 C it is ~ 5700 years

yes
