Question

The half-life of  is 28 years. How much is the disintegration rate of 15 mg of this isotope? The Avogadro’s number is .

Solution

Correct option is

1 gram-atom of  has a mass of 90 g and contains  atoms. Therefore, the number of atoms in 1 g of , and that in 15 mg  is 

          

            

The half-life T of  is 28 years. Therefore, its decay constant is 

       

          

          

The rate of disintegration, when N atoms are present, is given by

       .   

Substituting the above values of  and N, we get 

         

                .
