**Radium-226 Half-Life and Activity Calculation**Radium-226 is radioactive and has a half-life of 1600 years. Calculate the activity of a 8.2 mg sample of radium-226. Give your answer in becquerels and in curies. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.**Activity Calculation:**To solve this, you can use the formula for radioactive decay:\[ A = \frac{N \cdot \ln(2)}{t_{1/2}} \]Where:- \( A \) is the activity,- \( N \) is the number of atoms,- \( t_{1/2} \) is the half-life.First, calculate the number of atoms \( N \) using the sample mass and molar mass of radium-226. Then, convert this into activity in becquerels and curies.**Unit Options:**- Bq: Becquerels- Ci: CuriesMake sure to select the correct units for your final answer.Note: The diagram includes icons for selecting units and an option for rounding the answer.
