Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of half lives that have passed when radioactivity of a sample has dropped to 1/4 of its original intensity is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The elements whose nucleus decays spontaneously are known as radioactive elements. The decay is accompanied by the emission of alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. All the elements which have an atomic number greater than 83 are radioactive. Half-life of a radioactive substance is defined as the time taken by half of its atoms to decay.

A 10.00-mL pipet was filled to the mark with distilled water at the lab temperature of 22 oC. The water, delivered to a tared weighing bottle was found to weigh 9.973 g. The density of water at 22 oC is 0.99780 g/mL. Calculate the volume of the pipet in mL. (disregard air displacement for this calculation and record your answer to the proper number of significant digits.)
