Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The activity of americium-241 in the smoke detector is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

A smoke detector always contains 0.25mg of americium-241, therefore the activity of 1g of 241Am is 1.26×1011Bq as given in the data. The problem is based on unitary method, if activity for 1 g of nuclei is given, the same for any given mass can be calculated by simple multiplication if both masses have same units.
