At a certain instant a piece of radioactive material contains 10^(12) atoms. The half-life of the material is 30 days. What will be number of distingrations per second of the sample at that instant?

Answer»

`3.96 xx 10^(6)` dps
`4.02 xx 10^(5)` dps
`2.66 xx 10^(5) ` dps
`1.96 xx 10^(6)` dps

Solution :`t_(1//2) = 30` days

34 mol percent

Solution :`P_("total")=(at 80^(@)C)=760mm`
`P_("total")=x_(A)p_(A)^(@)+x_(B)p_(B)^(@)=x_(A)p_(A)^(@)+(1-x_(A))p_(B)^(@)`
`=p_(B)^(@)+x_(A)(p_(A)^(@)-p_(B)^(@))`
`THEREFORE""1000+x_(A)(520-1000)=760`
`"or"480x_(A)=240`
`"or"x_(A)=0.50,` i.e., 50 mol percent.
