The half-life of Au198{Au}^{198} is 2.72 . 7 days. The activity of 1.50mgofAu1981 . 50mg of {Au}^{198}, if its atomic weight is 198gmol−1198g{mol}^{- 1} is, (NA=6×1023mol−1)\left({N}_{A} = 6 \times {10}^{23}{mol}^{- 1}\right)

Options

  1. A240Ci240Ci
  2. B357Ci357Ci
  3. C535Ci535Ci
  4. D252Ci252Ci

Correct answer

B. 357Ci357Ci

Step-by-step solution

The activity will be

A=\lambdaNA = \lambdaN

Now,

λ=ln⁡(2)t12\lambda = \dfrac{\ln \left(2\right)}{{t}_{\dfrac{1}{2}}} and N=1.5×10−3198×6×1023N = \dfrac{1 . 5 \times {10}^{- 3}}{198} \times 6 \times {10}^{23}

Therefore, activity in CiCi,

A=ln⁡2t12×1.5×10−3198×6×10233.7×10−10=ln⁡22.7×24×60×60×1.5×10−3198×6×10233.7×10−10=366Ci≈357CiA = \dfrac{\ln 2}{{t}_{\dfrac{1}{2}}} \times \dfrac{1 . 5 \times {10}^{- 3}}{198} \times \dfrac{6 \times {10}^{23}}{3 . 7 \times {10}^{- 10}} = \dfrac{\ln 2}{2 . 7 \times 24 \times 60 \times 60} \times \dfrac{1 . 5 \times {10}^{- 3}}{198} \times \dfrac{6 \times {10}^{23}}{3 . 7 \times {10}^{- 10}} = 366Ci \approx 357Ci
