The half-life of Ra ²²⁶ is 1620 years. Then the number of atoms decay in one second in 1 ~g of radium (Avogadro number =6.023 10²³ )
Options
- A4.23 10^9
- B3.16 10¹⁰
- C3.61 10¹⁰
- D2.16 10¹⁰
Correct answer
C. 3.61 10¹⁰
Step-by-step solution
The number of atoms decay in one second d N d t = N aligned & = 0.693 1620 365 86 400 6.023 10²³ 226 & =3.61 10¹⁰ aligned
