Please I need some one who is very smart in Chemistry! It deals with nuclear chemistry and half-lifes?

Question

Here is the exact question- "Make a plot of the first order equation N=No e'-kt (thats a little subscript 0, and e is raised to the -kt) for an isotope with a half life of 60 minutes and a starting value (No) of 10000 disintegrations per second. Use 12 evenly spaced data points from zero up to 300 minutes.

If you can just tell me how to put the numbers in or something then I can do it on excel....I need this info by 10:30, thank you very much.

Answer 1

Hi. Each of the 12 data points should in an Exell sheet using a formula based on the calculated value of the first cell. I would put the starting N and half life each in a cell, the put the formula in the next with the inputs as the values from the starting cells.
