prepare a graph of activity vs. seconds. Use a trend line to produce the best exponential line through the points.

(b) Use the excel spreadsheet again with the data to prepare a graph of ln(activity) vs. time (seconds) . Use lin fit to produce the best straight line through the graph through the points and have the equation of that line printed on the graph.

ln (activity)t= _________t+_____________

(c)
Use the y-intercept of the line to calculate the activity which was present at the original time t=0

(d)
Use the slope of the line to determine the value of the rate of constant or decay constant
K=____________(sec)_______

(e)
Use the equation to calculate the time at which the activity has decreased to 500
