Chapter 21, Problem 87IE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The half life and percentage of $\text{C}\text{l}$ is given and the number of disintegration per second produced by $\text{C}\text{l}$ in the given sample is to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The disintegration per second of the given element is calculated by multiplying the number of atoms of that element with the rate constant of the reaction.

To determine: The disintegrations per second of $\text{C}\text{l}$ in the given sample.
