Suppose you start with a sample with 6.030×10^8 nuclei of a particular isotope. this isotope has a half-life of 537 s. what is the decay constant for this particular isotope? how many nuclei remain after 1.50×10^3 s?
what is the activity of the sample at the beginning of the experiment?

decay constant is 1.290  ×  s-1

Number is  0.870  ×  nuclei

activity is 1.1223 × Ci

Explanation:

Given data

isotope N1 = 6.030×10^8 nuclei

half life  T/2 = 537 s

to find out

decay constant and How many nuclei remain and activity of the sample at the beginning

solution

we know  that half life  and decay constant relationship that is

N = N1 ×   ...............1

here  k is decay constant and we know dN / dt is equal to -k × N

and T/2 = 0.693/k

so k = 0.693 / (T/12)

put here T/2

k = 0.693 / 537 = 1.290  ×  s-1

so decay constant is 1.290  ×  s-1

and

by equation 1 we get

N = N1 ×  

N = 6.030×10^8 ×  1.50×10^3}" alt="10^{-3}" />  1.50×10^3}" />  

N = 0.870  ×  nuclei

and

we know Activity of sample  =k×N

so

activity = 0.870 ×  × 1.290  ×

activity = 1.1223 × Ci

you go to your settings preference and in the end youll see sth that says "i want to delete my acc" click on it and u'll acc will be deleted but u have to wait.
