Calculation Formula

D = ln(Initial Amount / Final Amount) / Time Period

Where:
D = Decay constant
Initial Amount = Initial quantity of the substance
Final Amount = Remaining quantity of the substance
Time Period = Time elapsed

Result

D = -

How to Use the D Value Calculator

  1. Enter the initial amount of the substance in the "Initial Amount" field.
  2. Enter the final amount of the substance in the "Final Amount" field.
  3. Enter the time period in days in the "Time Period" field.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the decay constant (D).
  5. The result will be displayed in the "Result" field.

Understanding the Formula

The decay constant (D) is calculated using the formula:

D = ln(Initial Amount / Final Amount) / Time Period

This formula assumes a first-order decay process where the rate of decay is proportional to the amount of substance present.
