The decay constant for a radioactive nuclide is 1.5×10−5s−11 . 5 \times {10}^{- 5}{s}^{- 1}. Atomic weight of the substance is 60gmole−160g{mole}^{- 1}, NA=6×1023{N}_{A} = 6 \times {10}^{23}. The activity of 1.0µg1 . 0 µ g of the substance is ________ ×1010Bq\times {10}^{10}Bq.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

It is given that

λ=1.5×10−5s−1\lambda = 1 . 5 \times {10}^{- 5}{s}^{- 1}

Number of moles is 1×10−660=10−76\dfrac{1 \times {10}^{- 6}}{60} = \dfrac{{10}^{- 7}}{6}

Number of atoms=number of moles ×NA\times {N}_{A}

N0=10−76×6×1023=1016{N}_{0} = \dfrac{{10}^{- 7}}{6} \times 6 \times {10}^{23} = {10}^{16}

Hence, at t=0,A=A0=N0λt = 0, A = {A}_{0} = {N}_{0}\lambda, the activity can be given by

A=N0λe−\lambdat⇒A=1016×1.5×10−5×1=15×1010BqA = {N}_{0}\lambda{e}^{- \lambdat} ⇒ A = {10}^{16} \times 1 . 5 \times {10}^{- 5} \times 1 = 15 \times {10}^{10}Bq
