Question
Chapter 30, Problem 1OQ
To determine
The weight of left after 10.6 years
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1OQ
Solution:
b)20µg
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Half -life of , t1/2 = 5.3 years
Initial weight of , N0= 80µg
Formula used:
Half life of radioactive substance is given by,
……….. (eq.1)
Where,
λ→ Decay constant
Amount of radioactive substance left after a time ‘t’ is given by,
……….. (eq.2)
Where,
N0→ Initial amount
λ → Decay constant
Calculation:
From eqn.1 decay constant of can be found as,
Now from eqn.2, amount of left after 10.6 years can be calculated
