(a)
Interpretation:
How much
Concept introduction:
Half-life: The time taken for one-half of the nuclei in the sample to decay. The half-life of the sample is independent of the quantity of radioactive material and depends on the decay constant of the nuclide in the sample.
The decay constant (k) is independent of the quantity of radioactive material however depends only on the character of the nuclide. Various nuclides have various decay constants. The degree of radioactive decay depends on the decay constant and number of radioactive nuclei at specific time (
Half-life period:
Half-life is defined as the time taken for amount of the sample to reduce to half of its starting value. The symbol is
Half-life for a first order reaction is,
