It has a half life of 20.38...
I'm not sure if this is how you work it out, its been a while but...
Half Life= ln(2)/(decay constant)= T ln(2)
therefore...
20.38= ln(2)/ (decay constant)
decay constant= ln(2) /20.38 = 0.0340 per min
Hope thats right lol.

You're reading Can anyone tell me what the radioactive decay constant for carbon-11 is please? I have looked all over the net and I can't find it anywhere!

Thanks, yeh that's what I did as well but I was more looking for an independent source to verify (it's an essay). Thanks anyway. +5
