238U is long-lived but ultimately unstable; it will eventually spontaneously break into two fragments, a 4He nucleus and a 234Th nucleus, in a process called alpha decay, which we’ll learn about in the next section. A great dealof energy is released in the process. What must be true about the masses of the nuclei involved?A. mU > mTh + mHeB. mU = mTh + mHeC. mU < mTh + mHe

E c) For a radio-nuclide, a number No of atoms at time t = 0 decays as N(t) = No e¯‹, where A is the decay constant. i) Derive the relationship between the half-life t₁ and the time constant □ = = 1/λ. ii) The radio-nuclide radium-226 has a half-life of 1600 years. Calculate the activity of one gram of radium in Becquerels. iii) Radium-226 decays to radon-222, known as the daughter product. The amount of a daughter product present will vary with time, Na(t). Sketch two graphs, with appropri- ate axes and labels, to show schematically how N(t) and Na(t) evolve if Na(0) = 0, for the two extreme cases where the daughter product is much more radioactive than the parent (\d >> \) and where the daughter product is much less radioactive than the parent (\a << λ). Given that the half-life of radon-226 is 3.8 days, indicate which graph is relevant and estimate the amount of radon in equilibrium with one mole of radium.
