23892U is known to undergo radioactive decay to form 20682Pb by emitting alpha and beta particles. A rock initially contained 68×10−6 g of 23892U. If the number of alpha particles that it would emit during its radioactive decay of 23892U→20682Pb in three half-lives is Z×1018, then what is the value of Z? |
