The half-life of Au198Au 198 is 33 days. If atomic weight of Au198Au 198 is 198gmol−1198g{mol}^{- 1}, then the activity of 2mg2mg of Au198Au 198 is [in disintegrationsecond−1disintegration{second}^{- 1}]:

Options

  1. A2.67×10122 . 67 \times {10}^{12}
  2. B6.06×10186 . 06 \times {10}^{18}
  3. C32.36×101232 . 36 \times {10}^{12}
  4. D16.18×101216 . 18 \times {10}^{12}

Correct answer

D. 16.18×101216 . 18 \times {10}^{12}

Step-by-step solution

A=\lambdaNA = \lambdaN

λ=ln⁡2t1/2=ln⁡23×24×60×60sec⁡−1=2.67×10−6sec⁡−1\lambda = \dfrac{\ln 2}{{t}_{1/2}} = \dfrac{\ln 2}{3 \times 24 \times 60 \times 60}\sec^{- 1} = 2 . 67 \times {10}^{- 6}\sec^{- 1}

N=N = Number of atoms in 2mgAu2mgAu

=2×10−3198×6×1023=6.06×1015= \dfrac{2 \times {10}^{- 3}}{198} \times 6 \times {10}^{23} = 6 . 06 \times {10}^{15}

A=\lambdaN=1.618×1013=16.18×1012dpsA = \lambdaN = 1 . 618 \times {10}^{13} = 16 . 18 \times {10}^{12}dps
