A 2.71 g sample of KCl from the chemistry stockroom is found to be radioactive, and it is decaying at a constant rate of 4490 Bq. The decays are traced to the element potassium and in particular to the isotope 40K, which constitutes 1.17 % of normal potassium. Calculate the half-life of this nuclide?
